Conférence - Journées de protection des troupeaux 2024

The Salern Herd Protection Days focus on shepherds and their work with various livestock. Topics such as job requirements, animal health, and the implementation of herd protection measures will be discussed. A key focus will be on livestock guardian dogs, including their breeding, requirements for keeping these dogs and working methods in the field. The program is rounded off with reports on guided grazing, contract nature conservation, and a panel discussion on the future of livestock farming. The conference offers lectures, information booths, and practical demonstrations in the field for all those interested in shepherding, herd protection dogs, and contract nature conservation. Experience exchange and participant reports are important, allowing attendees to network and share knowledge. All speakers are practitioners who run their own operations or keep animals themselves. All participants are cordially invited to the opening of the exhibition "Gras und Zähne - al pascolo - may safely graze" LIFEstockProtect Exhibition at the South Tyrol Museum of Natural Science. This will take place on the evening of October 25th in Bolzano. A free shuttle service will be available to all participants from Salern to Bolzano.
