Thanks for answering, Peter! Yes, I’ve gone through those great resources already. I simply thought of asking the question during this AMA as maybe some new ideas arose since publishing. Thanks again!
Thanks for the great write-up, guys! Do you know how expensive are the methods currently employed by conservation groups (e.g. cost per sample, etc.)? Do you think low cost, quick testing tools currently under development for disease prediction and control in high-density farmed animal systems could be adapted?
Thanks for your great work! With respect to “Farmers reported that insects, especially crickets, will eat other insects if not provided an outside source of chitin.”, do producers use insect-derived chitin as a supplement? If so, do you have a published reference for this?
Do you know how small of a fraction of your presented figures are animals kept alive for breeding (e.g. adult flies or mealworm beetles)? Do you know anything about their lifespans/mortality/fate? Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks!
I’m seeing more and more being published on various photonics/plasmonics techniques. Could be promising. I’m hearing the ultimate goal is on-site, rapid automatic pathogen identification at <5 euro/sample.
Which issues/cause areas, do you think, could benefit the most from undercover investigation footage?
It seems that at least some European countries are seriously considering a meat/climate impact tax. What impact, do you expect, this could have? Do any unexpected potential flow-through effects come to mind?
Thanks for sharing and all of your great work! I still find estimating and comparing cost-effectiveness difficult to grasp, but, roughly, how would you say the potential cost-effectiveness of such an intervention (i.e. 12 welfare points per dollar) compare to that of cage-free campaigns (as defined in https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/L5EZjjXKdNgcm253H/corporate-campaigns-affect-9-to-120-years-of-chicken-life )? Thanks!
This is great stuff, Karolina! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

Interesting! It sounds like you’ll have more rounds of this program later. E.g. in a year? How likely is that, would you now say?

[Question] What would you like to ask a senior staff member who joined a new EA-aligned org without previous EA experience?

Thanks for the feedback, pete! I’ve just gotten rid of AW. We’ll read it once more to see where we can reduce the use of some of the others, too.
Thanks for sharing this—interesting! Would your opinion on the mandatory use of CCTV change significantly if you considered on-farm CCTV instead?
Hey all, thanks for all that you do!
Fish and, potentially, invertebrates will probably be the most intensively farmed animals for quite some time. What fundamental research, do you reckon, is most needed to spearhead their protection and welfare? Thanks.
