Three innovations have been distinguished with the "Animal Welfare Award", an additional recognition of the EuroTier innovation award for products that fulfil higher animal welfare standards.
One of the winners of the Animal Welfare Award for EuroTier 2022 is for SoundTalks® by Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica GmbH.
Thanks to SoundTalks, the initial signs of respiratory tract diseases are recognised earlier than the farmer is able to achieve by checking his livestock twice a day as usual. If deviations occur, the farmer is immediately alerted and can decide on the further procedure in consultation with his farm vet if necessary. The system is therefore used for early detection and prevention, and can prevent outbreaks of disease and thus also reduce the use of antibiotics, since the farmer is able to take action earlier. It impressively shows how digital technologies are able to support farmers in their daily work in the sty in the sense of animal welfare and animal health. It meets the requirements of a higher standard of animal welfare, especially the positive promotion of animal health, to a particularly high degree.
