About the speaker

Dr Grandin is a designer of livestock handling facilities and a professor of animal science at Colorado State University. Facilities she has designed are found in countries including the USA, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.

In North America, almost half of the cattle are handled in a centre track restrainer system she designed for meat plants.

Curved chute and race systems she has designed for cattle are used worldwide, and her writings on the flight zone and other principles of grazing animal behaviour have helped many people reduce stress on their animals during handling.

She has also developed an objective scoring system for assessing handling of cattle and pigs at meat plants.

Dr Grandin has appeared on numerous television shows, written more than 400 articles in scientific journals and livestock periodicals on animal handling, welfare and facility design, and is a best-selling author.

Her life story was also made into an HBO movie starring Claire Danes, which won seven Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe.
