Through successive editions, Management and Welfare of Farm Animals
has gained international recognition as a classic introductory
textbook for students of agriculture and veterinary science.
Conceived by the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW),
the book has always sought to promote the humane treatment of
livestock within the practical business context of modern farming.
Now fully revised and updated, this fifth edition remains the
most comprehensive and accessible guide available. Three animal
groups appear here for the first time (game birds, South American
camelids, and ostriches), and a chapter on horses has also been
restored. Throughout, the book offers clear advice for the humane
management of all major farmed species in the primary context of
large-scale food production.However, this edition also takes full
account of consumer demand (and legal requirements) for alternative
farming methods and enhanced welfare standards, whether in
conventional agriculture or the smallest of 'hobby' farms. Brand
new chapters reflect fresh understanding of welfare science,
ethics, and the role of society in ensuring the best possible farm
conditions. It remains an indispensable resource for students, and
for all those seeking to promote animal welfare.Published as a part
of the prestigious Wiley-Blackwell - UFAW Animal Welfare series.
UFAW, founded 1926, is an internationally recognised, independent,
scientific and educational animal welfare charity. For full details
