Training Assessors
To ensure consistency across countries, farm assessors will participate in a centralised training programme. They will use harmonised methods to ensure that data is reliable and comparable across Europe.
Identifying measures and building the protocol
Our first step is to identify the best animal-based measures for monitoring welfare. They will form the basis of a standard protocol used across all countries.
The important role of farmers
The success of SOWtrack depends on farmers. All farm data are anonymised before sharing and stored securely in line with GDPR.
Project Launch
SOWtrack has officially started. The goal is to build the first harmonised EU-wide database on sow and piglet welfare.
