The series is sponsored by the International Animal Welfare Training Institute, the school's newest initiative on behalf of animal health and well-being. The institute's goal is to bring a variety of community groups and public agencies together to examine animal a broad range of welfare issues in many species, including companion animals. Working with industry, universities, veterinarians, animal welfare advocates and others, the institute is identifying issues and seeking science-based solutions to animal welfare concerns in many species, including livestock, horses, companion species and service animals. The faculty are exploring research opportunities and seeking support from the public to develop science-based improvements to welfare policies, an area in which little research has occurred. The institute also serves to train and educate students, community members, and government representatives in disaster planning and emergency response for animals.
