HHI was formed in the fall of 2022 with support from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection's Meat Talent Development Program.
The Humane Handling Institute is a first-of-its-kind comprehensive training program for humane livestock handling, stunning, and equipment maintenance. The objective of the program is to develop humane handlers, stunner operators, and maintenance personnel that have a deeper understanding of the 'hows' and the 'whys' of humane handling, stunning, and slaughter. Certification through the program will help to improve and strengthen the skill level of key meat industry employees, address key regulatory issues in meat processing establishments, and strengthen consumer trust in meat processing establishments of all sizes.
This program will include a series of 2.5-day long workshops that cover the following topics:
Workshop 1: Animal welfare and handling from farm through transport
Workshop 2: Livestock receiving and lairage
Workshop 3: Effective and humane restraint and stunning
Workshop 4: Stunning equipment operation and maintenance
Workshop 5: Building a robust Systematic Approach to Animal Welfare
Trainees have the option of selecting the workshops that fit their needs or completing the entire series of workshops and an additional project for comprehensive certification.
The Director of the HHI is Dr. Kurt Vogel, Associate Professor of Livestock Welfare and Behavior (kurt.vogel@uwrf.edu).
The Program Manager of the HHI is Ashlynn Kirk (ashlynn.kirk@uwrf.edu).
