Animal welfare training

The HSA provides relevant training for stockmen involved with handling animals during transport, in markets and for slaughter. Training may be arranged for part of the requirement for Slaughter Licenses. We also offer training for Animal Welfare Officers for poultry, pigs, fish and red meat animals. HSA courses include a theoretical as well as a practical component.

We provide training for establishments of all sizes, ranging from large to small-scale and hobby farmers, slaughtermen and university students. The HSA uses proven training material based on the latest science and legislative requirements. The courses are run by licensed slaughtermen, who have both theoretical and practical knowledge on animal slaughter. Contact the HSA to discuss your particular training needs.
