Théo Dessier joined the BIOEPAR unit on December 1 as a PhD student. After completing a master's degree in behavioral neuroscience and a second in bioacoustics, he will be working under the supervision of Catherine Belloc, Mily Leblanc-Maridor and Céline Tallet (ethologist at the INRAE Pégase unit in Rennes). Her interdisciplinary project involves (i) identifying health and welfare indicators for pigs, and (ii) developing methods for aggregating them, with the aim of assessing health and welfare on commercial farms committed to reducing antibiotic use. These combined indicators will be evaluated through a cohort study of commercial farms representative of the diversity of situations in the field in terms of animal health and welfare.
