By taking an entirely practical approach, this textbook helps those working with animals to apply methods for improving welfare and bridging the gap between scientific research and practical application. This book provides a guide to practical evaluation and auditing of welfare problems for farmed animals, emphasizing the importance of measuring conditions that compromise welfare, such as lameness or the use of electric goads. This second edition is fully updated with new literature, up-to-date coverage of pain management, and the addition of a new chapter on animal welfare in organic farming systems.
