Program Development

I can help your company or farm develop an animal welfare program including policies, training programs, internal programming and public relations. I have worked with individual producers, small plants, large integrated production companies and agricultural exhibtiions and rodeos. 

Extensive experience in development of animal welfare assessments and audits for all species of production livestock, slaughter plants, transportation, feedlots, airlines and airport animal facilities, rodeo, livestock and equine competitions.

No slaughter facility is too big or too small to have a humane slaughter plan. Program includes polices, SOP's, employee training, internal animal welfare assessments. All aspects of humane slaughter covered including transportation and receiving, facilities, handling, stunning, bleeding and insensibility.  

Failure to plan, is planning to fail. Extensive experience in developing livestock emergency preparedness for producers, municipalities, production companies, slaughter facilities and livestock competition venues. Creation of livestock emergency response trailers and teams also available. 

Euthanasia training programs for farms, production companies, veterinary practices and first responders. Customized to your needs include specie specific practices and preferred methods. Programming includes not just the how, but the why, the when and the where. 

Extensive experience in program development and education of livestock haulers and equine transporters in Canada, the US and internationally. Programs can be customized to meet the needs of the company. Experience with land transport, air transport and even transport by boat.
