Abstract

Abstract This fifth edition book is a comprehensive guide to the behaviour and welfare of domestic animals. It provides practical information for those involved with farming, pet animals and veterinary work and reviews scientific information about the assessment of animal welfare, and the evaluation of the effects on animals of genetic selection and of different management methods and housing conditions. Assessing welfare necessarily involves measurement of physiology, disease state and production as well as behaviour. Chapters have been added on welfare during stunning and slaughter, the welfare of sheep and goats, and the welfare of additional pet species, and illustrated with many new photographs.
