Animal welfare is attracting increasing interest worldwide,
especially in developed countries where the knowledge and resources
are available to (at least potentially) provide better management
systems for farm animals, as well as companion, zoo and laboratory
animals. The key requirements for adequate food, water, a suitable
environment, appropriate companionship and good health are
important for animals kept for all of these purposes. There has
been increased attention given to farm animal welfare in many co-
tries in recent years. This derives largely from the fact that the
relentless pursuit of nancial reward and ef ciency, to satisfy
market demands, has led to the devel- ment of intensive animal
production systems that challenge the conscience of many consumers
in those countries. In developing countries, human survival is
still a daily uncertainty, so that p- vision for animal welfare has
to be balanced against human needs. Animal welfare is usually a
priority only if it supports the output of the animal, be it food,
work, clothing, sport or companionship. In principle the welfare
needs of both humans and animals can be provided for, in both
developing and developed countries, if resources are properly
husbanded. In reality, however, the inequitable division of the
world's riches creates physical and psychological poverty for
humans and a- mals alike in many parts of the world.
