Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureStrengthening meat production food safety teaching through a Virtual Slaughterhouse Simulator (VSS) 2024
Also available in:
Practical training is crucial to the understanding of how slaughterhouses function and how food safety, animal health and welfare risks are recognized and controlled. Restricted access to slaughterhouses due to biosecurity reasons limits the possibility of on-site experience for students. The COVID-19 pandemic increased these restrictions. The University of Edinburgh developed a Virtual Slaughterhouse Simulator (VSS) to provide veterinary students with insights into the slaughterhouse environment and problem solving necessary to perform specific official control tasks. New versions of the virtual slaughterhouse simulator are planned for other production animals (pig and poultry) and could be further developed for additional species. This document was developed within the framework of the FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia and University of Helsinki collaboration on “Call for collecting good practices in improving food safety management”, launched in June 2022. This call aimed to empower organizations to showcase innovative solutions and good practices to improve specific aspects of food safety management in Europe and Central Asia. It facilitates experience sharing and co-learning amongst the Member countries in the region. Five good practices were identified under three categories: i) Measuring effectiveness of food control; ii) Solutions to support small-scale producers to comply with food safety requirements; iii) Use of digital solutions to improve food safety management. -
ProjectFactsheetCattle and Sheep Production and Management in Tonga - TCP/TON/3602 (Phase I) and TCP/TON/3802 (Phase II) 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Livestock production makes a significant contribution to rural development in Tonga, providing income for rural households and offering development potential through improved husbandry and stock breeds. The cattle and sheep industry in Tonga is undeveloped and characterized by low productivity as a result of limited access to quality pastures and feeds, uncontrolled and poor breeding, late weaning, poor husbandry, seasonal lack of feed and the stocking of species with low productive potential. Other constraints include the lack of trained and experienced staff and of specialized training in cattle and sheep production, and the lack of appropriate cattle and sheep management practices and of practical demonstrations for local producers. The aim of the projects was to provide technical assistance and support to the Livestock Division, of the MAFF, in collaboration with TNLDC, to improve the productivity of cattle and sheep farmers for household food security and nutritional status, and sustainable livelihoods. -
