Improving Animal Welfare A Practical Approach
Author: T GrandinNew legislation on animal welfare standards has created the need for welfare programmes to be implemented on farms, during transportation, and in slaughter plants. While there is a wealth of information on animal behaviour, ethics and factors effecting welfare, there is little to guide veterinarians and managers in evaluating animal welfare and improving it. This textbook aims to help those working with animals to apply practical methods for improving welfare, bridging the gap between scientific research and practical application. Drawing on the editor's extensive experience in teaching and auditing, and contributions from international experts, this book provides a guide to practical evaluation and auditing of welfare problems, emphasizing the importance of measuring conditions that compromise welfare.
Key Features
- Written by a leading authority on the subject with contributions from industry experts.
- Provides a strongly practical review of the topic and how to apply research where it makes a difference.
- Ideal guide for veterinarians and veterinary students and welfare auditing and officer training, and students in animal sciences.
