Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farm-animal welfare in intensive animal production is a topic that is gaining momentum with consumer-citizens and other stakeholders. Much literature is dedicated to the influence of consumer demand for higher-welfare products and citizen support for higher-welfare legislation. Demand for products is influenced by consumer values while consumer-citizen attitudes toward welfare drives support for legislation. To complicate matters, consumer-citizen attitudes may or may not agree with stakeholders, including producers and animal scientists, who hold disparate sets of welfare standards that range from the physiological to the needs-based spectrum of welfare. The United States favors an economic, market-regulation approach to all levels of farm-animal welfare including the minimum standards and higher-welfare attributes, relying on consumer values expressed as market demand and attitudes expressed as pressure for legislation. Understanding the differences between the values driving demand, attitudes supporting legislation, and the role of transparent information is key to achieving higher welfare standards at both economic and legislative levels. A knowledge gap exists within literature of the nature of the United States economic stance on welfare, existing policies and the political landscape that illuminates the challenges of diverse consumer values and attitudes shaping these animal welfare drivers. This paper uses a traditional literature review to identify shaping these animal welfare drivers. This paper uses a traditional literature review to identify knowledge gaps in qualitative literature to gain a thorough understanding of the role of the economic value and moral values of animal welfare among all stakeholders within the legal and economic landscape and how to assist stakeholders to make more informed decisions or inspire further research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you define the quality of life of a farmed animal? This timely book addresses the complex and often controversial issues surrounding the assessment and improvement of farm animal welfare. Based on a large, multi-disciplinary EU funded research project called Welfare Quality, it discusses the relevance of science based welfare assessments and the importance of establishing a fruitful dialogue between science and society. An outline is given of the development of a workable welfare assessment system for cattle, pigs and chickens as well as practical ways of improving the animals' quality of life. This book synthesises the huge body of work carried out by the largest ever international network of scientists and stakeholders in Welfare Quality. It describes some of the obstacles encountered and their solution and why particular paths were chosen. It also clearly sets out what still needs to be done and presents selected strategies and technologies (automation, proxy indicators, targeting of risk factors, etc.) designed to ensure the continued improvement of welfare and its assessment. The book provides a valuable source of knowledge on farm animal welfare for social and animal scientists, students, teachers, policy makers, lobby groups and the animal industry.

Committee on Considerations for the Future of Animal Science Research and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 2050 the world's population is projected to grow by one-third, reaching between 9 and 10 billion. With globalization and expected growth in global affluence, a substantial increase in per capita meat, dairy, and fish consumption is also anticipated. The demand for calories from animal products will nearly double, highlighting the critical importance of the world's animal agriculture system. Meeting the nutritional needs of this population and its demand for animal products will require a significant investment of resources as well as policy changes that are supportive of agricultural production. Ensuring sustainable agricultural growth will be essential to addressing this global challenge to food security. Critical Role of Animal Science Research in Food Security and Sustainability identifies areas of research and development, technology, and resource needs for research in the field of animal agriculture, both nationally and internationally. This report assesses the global demand for products of animal origin in 2050 within the framework of ensuring global food security; evaluates how climate change and natural resource constraints may impact the ability to meet future global demand for animal products in sustainable production systems; and identifies factors that may impact the ability of the United States to meet demand for animal products, including the need for trained human capital, product safety and quality, and effective communication and adoption of new knowledge, information, and technologies. The agricultural sector worldwide faces numerous daunting challenges that will require innovations, new technologies, and new ways of approaching agriculture if the food, feed, and fiber needs of the global population are to be met. The recommendations of Critical Role of Animal Science Research in Food Security and Sustainability will inform a new roadmap for animal science research to meet the challenges of sustainable animal production in the 21st century.
