The 3-year project is based on a consortium of 18 institutions from 10 european countries. The coordination is with Teagasc (Ireland), a national agency for the development of agriculture and food security. The German participation in the consortium is carried out by the Institute of Animal Welfare and Animal Husbandry of Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI Celle) - it is taking the lead in the work package Animal Health & Welfare - and by the Federal Association for Beef and Pig (BRS Bonn).
