WASHINGTON — The 20th Anniversary Edition of the North American Meat Institute's Recommended Animal Handling Guidelines and Audit Guide is available for download on the NAMI's newly updated and redesigned animal welfare site www.AnimalHandling.org.
The guidelines were authored by Colorado State University Professor of Animal Behavior Dr. Temple Grandin, working with the institute's Animal Welfare Committee.
The institute's audit was originally developed by Grandin in 1997 and its adoption by meat companies helped transform how livestock are handled and processed in meat plants. Grandin premised the concept of an animal welfare audit on the idea. . .
