Advances in Cattle Welfare

2017 | Natural World

Advances in Cattle Welfare provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary issues in dairy and beef cattle welfare research. The volume takes a novel approach, with the animal's perspective in mind when, for instance, considering housing systems or feeding practices. Opening with an overview of cattle production systems, the book covers the three major areas of cattle welfare research: on-farm welfare assessment, behavioral priorities of cattle and novel perspectives on current production issues. Chapters examine the key issues within each area. With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, the book is a standard reference for welfare research scientists and students, practicing vets involved in welfare assessment, and anyone with a professional interest in the welfare of cattle. The book is an essential part of the wider ranging series with coverage of cattle, pigs, poultry and aquaculture.
