Workshop held at Southwest University, Chongqing

Heather Bacon ran an Animal Welfare Science and clinical skills development workshop, at the Agricultural Department, within the SWU in China in November 2011. The workshop successfully introduced students to the veterinarian’s role in animal welfare and the use of animal manikins as an alternative to animals being used, for educational training. The workshop was also successful in engaging the university teaching staff on the benefits of using animal alternatives models.
