There has been a lot written about animal welfare in intensive
farming systems, but very little about animals reared in extensive
agricultural systems. Yet these animals make up a significant
proportion of the world's farm animal population, covering a
significant portion of the globe. Animals kept in extensive
conditions face their own unique set of challenges that are vital
for anyone with an interest in farm animal welfare to understand.
Animal Welfare in Extensive Production Systems presents those
challenges in a practical way, backed up with thoroughly referenced
research. Topics covered include heat stress, water quality and
availability, nutrition, predation, poisonous plants, transport,
human-animal interactions, and neonatal mortality. This book is
ideal for animal welfare academics, students and researchers. It
can also be beneficial to students in animal science, veterinary
science and agriculture and to farm industry producers and
personnel. The Farm Animal Welfare Education Centre (FAWEC) is
based at the School of Veterinary Science of the Autonomous
University of Barcelona (Spain). FAWEC works with farmers,
veterinarians and the livestock sector in general to improve farm
animal welfare. Its main activity is to provide practical,
science-based training and education on the welfare of farm
animals. Further information on FAWEC can be found at
www.fawec.org.
