Animal Welfare: Key Concepts
Journal Title: Voyager - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Concern about animal welfare is nothing new; producers have always been concerned about the condition of animals in their care and have tried to ensure that they are healthy and well nourished. In this tradition of animal care, good welfare is seen largely as the absence of illness or injury. More recent concerns about animal welfare have focussed on the pain or distress that the animals might experience as a result of widely accepted management practices and the possibility that animals suffer as a result of being kept under apparently “unnatural” conditions. Disagreements about animal welfare can occur when different measures are used. For example, management systems that favour production may restrict natural behaviour or can even lead to higher rates of disease.
