  Grandin: Livestock industry uses better practices
  by IANR News Service - 1/16/2013
  The U.S. beef industry has made huge strides in livestock handling in recent years but has done a poor job explaining that to the public, leading animal behavior expert Temple Grandin said Tuesday.
  Grandin encouraged the industry to be more transparent with the general public.
  "Ag has done a rotten job of communicating," she added.
  Grandin, an animal sciences professor at Colorado State University, has had a major impact on the meat and livestock industries worldwide through her research, development and outreach on use of low-stress, behavior-based livestock handling techniques and design of animal handling facilities.
