Implementing effective standards and scoring systems for assessing animal welfare on farms and slaughter plants.

T. Grandin¹

Abstract: When standards and guidelines are being written for animal welfare, vague wording should be avoided. Avoid terminology such as "proper handling" or "adequate veterinary care". What one person thinks is proper handling, another person may consider the handling practice as abusive. Both the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and many animal specialists recommend the use of animal-based outcome measures. Some of the commonly used outcome measures are body condition score, percentage of lame animals that h… Show more

Finally, from the perspective of external assessors, in particular veterinarians, which one key function is to assess animal health and welfare, this enhancement is an incentive to continue working [ 36 ].…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…There are many factors that can affect animal welfare during transport such as temperature, stocking density, and animal condition [43,44,45,46,47]. For sows and boars, research is needed to determine how the animal’s condition before loading interacts with distance travelled, road conditions (smooth vs. rough), temperature, and other factors.…”

“…A major concern is determining fitness for transport. Many welfare issues that occur during transport are due to putting unfit animals on a vehicle [46,47]. Major stakeholders agree that downed non-ambulatory animals, animals with fractures, animals in the late stages of pregnancy, and sows with uterine prolapses should not be transported off the farm.…”

“…They need to be developed and exploited economically. It is also necessary that they are known, accessed, and implemented by rural producers, slaughterhouses, and other agents involved (Grandin, 2010). In this regard, there is still a need to evolve in the clear presentation of the benefits of using these technologies to the rural manager, at the same time that integrated models of monitoring and management of welfare must be considered (Wathes et al, 2008;Banhazi et al, 2012).…”
