The Institute's Workshop in EgyptA "Workshop on animal welfare during killing for disease control purposes", organised by the G. Caporale Institute and the Technical Assistance and Information Exchange Programme (TAIEX) of the European Commission's Directorate General for Enlargement, was held in Cairo, Egypt from 22 to 24 November 2010.
The mission was designed to verify the conditions under which pigs were killed in Egypt following the Egyptian parliament's decision taken to protect the population against swine flu. This study demonstrated the need to facilitate the acquisition by the Egyptian veterinary services of skills adequate to handle the animal welfare aspects associated with epidemic emergencies and natural and environmental catastrophes.
The G. Caporale Institute, in the performance of its duties as OIE Collaborating Centre, facilitated the implementation of a training programme, for which the European Commission provided the necessary funds, The Egyptian authorities present at the event praised the excellent technical skills of the Institute, which was represented at the workshop by Barbara Alessandrini, Paolo Dalla Villa and Armando Giovannini.
