Neurophysiology and Assessment of Welfare
Meat Science, 1998Concern for animal welfare is a major consideration in meat production and is based upon the belief that animals can suffer. Welfare may be considered in terms of the subjective experiences of animals; preference testing is often used in this approach. Neurophysiology has provided insight into the biological basis of emotions and into the mechanisms of

Assessing welfare and suffering
Behavioural Processes, 1991Poor welfare occurs in situations in which the effects on the animal are adverse in that there is reduced fitness or clear indications that fitness will be reduced, ie. the animal is stressed, and in situations where the individual has difficulty in coping with its environment. Welfare is improved by increased control over the environment.

Abstract There is a growing need to understand how our current interactions and practices influence fish welfare and wellbeing. Particularly given the increasing use of fish both as model organisms in research, for example zebrafish used in biomedical experiments, and also in terms of food production in aquaculture, where we now rear and ...

Assessing welfare: long-term responses
1993Most of us would accept that weeks or months of hell are worse than minutes or hours. In biological considerations of stress this difference is important because animals use different coping methods when problem situations are prolonged rather than brief. Persistent problems are also often the major causes for concern when we are judging the welfare of

Assessing welfare: short-term responses
1993Since our definition of welfare refers to the state of an animal, we should be able to use measurements of that state to indicate welfare. Many aspects of an individual’s biology can reflect its attempts to cope with its environment, because there are various ways of trying to cope as well as numerous indicators of failure to cope.

In Practice, 2011
Protocols for the assessment of welfare in sheep are not as well developed or validated as in other livestock species. However, it is possible to use a number of animal‐ and resource‐based measures to indicate the standard of animal welfare in sheep flocks.
