Training and Education (Animal Handling)
Purpose: Training and education on animal handling provide workers with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage livestock safely and effectively. This training reduces the risk of injury to both workers and animals while promoting better animal welfare.
Poor Outcome:
Workers are not trained in animal handling techniques, leading to frequent injuries, stress for animals, and poor productivity. The lack of proper education also results in higher operational costs due to accidents.
Expected Outcome:
All workers receive basic training in animal handling, leading to safer interactions with livestock and improved animal welfare. Accidents and injuries are minimized, and overall farm efficiency is increased.
Excellent Outcome:
Animal handling training is comprehensive, with workers becoming experts in recognizing animal behavior and using advanced techniques to minimize stress and ensure safety. The result is an environment where accidents are rare, and animals are handled with care and precision.
