Does outdoor access affect the gait and hoof health of tie-stall cows? - ISAE 2021

Updated: Jun 2, 2022

This blog post was written by Amir Nejati.


The Covid19 pandemic has changed our lives and the whole world. One of the transformations is how events are conducted: virtual events in place of physical ones. The 54th International Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE 2021) was no exception. We attended ISAE 2021, which took place virtually in Bangalore, India. In the following video, Amir Nejati is explaining more about his poster presentation.
