Speaker Case Study Start Times
00:00 - Dr. Jennifer Walker
Dr. Walker shares a series of on-farm projects that demonstrate how working directly with farmers fosters trust, practical skills, and community. She describes the development of Kinder Ground and the spread and adoption of welfare-related ideas (e.g., pig brushes) of compassion, which become contagious.

13:35 - Dr. Brooke Kitting
Dr. Kitting presents transportation scenarios highlighting how teams must balance biosecurity, animal welfare, human safety, and public perception when things go wrong. She emphasizes that what a company does when problems arise defines company values more than written SOPs.

26:14 - Dr. Kate Barger
Dr. Barger details broiler catching and transport practices in Central America, from the body-catching method to coop handling systems. She explains how small changes, such as a “railroad” pipe setup and quality checks, improved bird safety, worker efficiency, and the condition of equipment.

46:40 - Dr. Cole Crumpacker
Dr. Crumpacker discusses a field visit during a respiratory outbreak that revealed an operational heating failure, resulting in major bird losses. He emphasizes the importance of direct communication with growers, establishing clear timelines, and striking a balance between accountability and understanding in welfare work to drive success.

51:49 - Dr. Laura Tensa
Dr. Tensa discusses a farm struggling with chronic pecking losses and the switch from salt treatments to molasses-based pecking stones. She illustrates how a simple enrichment reduced mortality and led other farmers to adopt the same practice.
