Livestock welfare refers to the well-being of farm animals, including cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens. It encompasses their physical and mental health, ensuring they have adequate food, water, shelter, and space to move. Good welfare practices aim to minimize stress and suffering, promoting a better quality of life for these animals. Key aspects of livestock welfare include proper housing, veterinary care, and humane handling. Regulations and guidelines, such as those set by organizations like the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), help farmers maintain high welfare standards. Improved livestock welfare can also lead to better productivity and sustainability in farming.
