Livestock producers and citizens don’t always have the same perceptions of livestock production practices that can affect welfare in swine production. How can these visions align, and what are the real impacts on welfare and performance?
Jamie Ahloy-Dallaire is an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Science at Université Laval, where he teaches in the agronomy program and conducts research on swine behaviour and welfare. His research topics include environmental enrichment, play and social behaviours, the links between wellness and infectious disease resistance, and automated data collection methods.
