Fw: UFAW LINK: CCSAW Research Seminar series, University of Guelph, Canada
by Hannah Buchanan-Smith 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

Three online talks, potentially of interest to some: (Wednesdays, 17.30 GMT, i.e. after BERG) Dr. Rebecca Meagher January 26th, 12:30 EST - Exploring the connections between cognition and welfare in farmed animals Dr. Joao Costa February 9, 12:30pm EST Dairy cattle behavior in modern production systems Jennifer Applebaum March 30th, 12:30 EDT Why companion animal welfare scientists should think like sociologists (HAIMsters especially) ---------------------------------------- Dear all, CSSAW Alumna Dr. Rebecca Meagher will be kicking off the CCSAW Research Seminar series this semester in a couple of weeks time (Wed Jan. 26that 1230): Zoom -- MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "ryyzw.smtpurl.com" claiming to be https://zoom.us/j/99356192808<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fryyzw.smtp…> Dr. Meagher will present on links between cognition and welfare in farmed animals, especially dairy cattle. Amongst other topics, she will review how calf housing affects their abilities to learn, and how motivated adult cows are to learn. Dr. Meagher is currently an Assistant Professor of Animal Welfare at Dalhousie University, focusing mainly on mink and dairy cattle. Her research interests include welfare assessment methods, effects of the early environment, and understanding and managing individual differences. Her work on the environments of calves and heifers examines how these factors affect both cognition and emotional states such as boredom. Sadly she won't be here in person - her "visit" will be 100% online. But the poster is attached - please spread the word so we get a great turnout! I’ve also attached a poster with all this semester’s seminars, February's and March's too. Look forward to “seeing” you there! Best wishes, Georgia Mason Professor, Dept. of Integrative Biology / Col. K. L. Campbell University Chair in Animal Welfare / Director of the Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare (she/her) ________________________________ The University achieved an overall 5 stars in the QS World University Rankings 2020 UK Sports University of the Year 2020 (Times Higher Good University Guide) The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.
