​​High Impact Engineers is a community of engineers trying to have a large positive impact on the world.

​​Tech x FAW is a monthly discussion regarding technological solutions to address the suffering of farmed animals around the world.

​​What is happening?

​​Join us for the second Tech x FAW group discussion! This month, we will be discussing reducing keel bone damage in laying hens.

​​The topic

​Keel bone injuries are very common for hens in cage-free environments. While estimates vary, it seems likely that over 50% of hens in these environments are affected. Injury rates seem to be responsive to the design/layout of the environment, nutrition, and management/rearing. This topic has been studied extensively, yet remains a huge issue. Let's take some time to consolidate information about the state of current efforts, identify bottlenecks, and share ideas.

​​Should I prepare anything?

​Join the discussion for this event over the Impact Forge. This is where we will crowdsource any cool resources we come across! If you can, spend a little time reading up on this topic ahead of time.

​​The Impact Forge is the new forum of the High Impact Engineers community. Check it out!

​Who should come?

​Anyone who is interested in the discussion is welcome, including technical and non-technical people.
