Abstract / Zusammenfassung

Despite the statutory necessary proof of expertise by certificate, there are still different levels of knowledge in the meat industry, especially in the field of animal welfare. The joint project “Development of target group oriented e-learning training courses to improve animal welfare during transport and slaughter of cattle and pigs” (acronym: eSchulTS2*), with the aim of sustainably improving animal welfare by developing e-learning courses, is
funded by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The research team, consisting of three different institutes of the Department of Veterinary Medicine as well as one institute of the Department of Education and Psychology, both Freie Universität Berlin, collaborates closely with a partner of the German meat industry. This collaboration should enhance and standardise teaching and the expertise of people handling animals during transport and slaughter. The developed e-learning materials for the different target groups, which include animal carriers, abattoir staff and animal welfare officers, will be created and provided across slaughterhouses throughout Germany and in different languages. It is also important to consider the possible influence of different socio-economic backgrounds. The modular learning materials for animal welfare-friendly handling of pigs and cattle during transport and slaughter will be the basis for uniform training in German slaughterhouses, leading to a higher and more standardised level of expertise among the people involved in
transport and slaughter. Within the project, the Working Group Meat Hygiene will focus on pigs. First, a Systematic Review will be performed to identify general critical control points in animal welfare in the pig production line from transport to slaughter. The results will be integrated in a Delphi survey including experts from different research areas and industry.
Here, we will present the overall idea of the eSchulTS2-project and the status of the scientific work.
