The question of whether it is better to house animals in groups rather than alone deals with unresolved issues at the heart of animal welfare. In particular, we need to be able to rank different classes of threats to welfare (e.g. behavioural deprivation versus illness) on a single scale. In this...
This third edition of "Animal Welfare" has 407 pages and is divided into five parts. Part I, Issues, introduces the background and philosophy of the subject. Part II covers problems for animal welfare, starting in chapter 3 with the animal's interactions with its environment. The following four...
The physical environment of an animal is sometimes altered if it is found to cause problems for animal welfare. These changes are commonly quite specific (making changes to space, food, aspects of housing design such as flooring, or other environmental factors such as air quality) and may be...
An investigation into how factors such as environmental complexity affect the way laying hens perceive group size and stocking density was carried out using partitioned pens. Two groups of 40 mature, medium-weight hybrid hens were placed in adjacent littered floor pens sub-divided by 600-mm...
In this chapter, we describe how the constrained structure of managed social groups may lead to the occurrence of animal welfare problems and discuss potential solutions. Solving socially induced welfare problems is particularly challenging because it is usually more difficult to predict how...

Solving socially induced welfare problems is particularly challenging because it is usually more difficult to predict how animals ...
A major approach in animal welfare science involves research on animals' preferences for options such as ambient temperature, illumination, and types of flooring, and on the strength of animals' motivation to perform certain types of behaviour, obtain certain resources and avoid unpleasant features ...
There has been a growing interest in developing and implementing animal welfare assessment schemes on farms, zoos and aquaria, experimental situations, and even on free-ranging animal populations. Inspection bodies and organizations that carry out farm inspection for retailers and for government...

The origin of different poultry species (fowl, turkey, Japanese quail, Bobwhite quail, guineafowl, pheasant, duck, muscovy, goose, pigeon and ratites), including their domestication ...
