For the second time, a Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Animal Welfare Judging Team swept its division to become national champions at the fall Animal Welfare Assessment Contest Nov. 22 to 24 in River Falls, Wisconsin.
The contest, sponsored by the American Veterinary Medical Association, is the only intercollegiate welfare judging contest held for universities worldwide. As a competitive team in the Department of Animal Science, the Animal Welfare Judging Team won the national championship in 2022 and has now repeated its performance in the undergraduate team division.
More than 270 participants from 25 universities and two countries participated in the judging contest, and every undergraduate Texas A&M team member placed, said Courtney Daigle, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Animal Science and coach of the team.
