By taking an entirely practical approach, this textbook aims to help those
working with animals to apply methods for improving welfare, 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, new, up to date
coverage of pain management, and the addition of a new chapter on animal
welfare in organic farming systems.
