University of Wisconsin–Madison — Layer Hen Welfare Research

[Farm Animal Welfare] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $279,000 over three years to the University of Wisconsin–Madison to support Haipeng Shi’s research, in collaboration with Professor Sarah Adcock, on layer hen welfare. Shi’s research will be focused on the welfare effects of beak trimming and on alternatives to beak trimming. This falls within our focus area of farm animal welfare.
