The aWish project is a European research initiative aimed at developing a cost-efficient solution to assess and improve the welfare of animals used for meat production, such as fattening pigs and broiler chickens, on a large scale in Europe.
The solution involves the automatic monitoring of animal-related welfare indicators in the slaughterhouse, aiming to provide feedback and best practices to those responsible for various production stages. The project utilizes advanced technologies to enhance animal welfare and assist farmers and industry professionals in complying with regulations.

At the core of the project are six pilot projects led by multidisciplinary teams comprising animal welfare and technology experts, as well as end-users such as integrators, meat processors, farmers, and transporters.
These teams will develop and test novel technologies for monitoring animal welfare and collect existing routine and feasible animal welfare indicator (AWI) data in a specific pilot region centered around a slaughterhouse and its suppliers. The data and insights gained from the pilot studies will feed into various work packages of the project.
The aWish feedback loop will be tested by utilizing the aWish data platform and encouraging actors in their supply chain to use the feedback tool, enabling them to access the latest AWI data related to their batch and take appropriate actions.
