The Well-Being of Farm Animals (eBook)
John Wiley & Sons (Verlag)
978-0-470-34478-1 (ISBN)
the first title in Blackwell Publishing Professional's
groundbreaking series Issues in Animal Bioethics. This important
book examines the ethical and economic importance of production
animal well-being and pain management--topics of increasing
concern to consumers.
The Well-Being of Farm Animals: Challenges and Solutions
offers veterinarians, veterinary and agriculture students, animal
scientists, and food animal producers both practical methods to
enhance farm animal well-being, and greater understanding of the
theoretical underpinnings of those methods. With a variety of
perspectives from respected experts and specialists, this book
conveys new research findings and promotes valuable discourse on
critical issues. Most importantly, editors Benson and Rollin
provide feasible instruction to put theory into practice.
The theories and applications presented in this book are likely
to be legislated in the future. Therefore, it is important for
veterinarians in production animal medicine to keep abreast of the
latest issues in promoting animal well-being, and implement sound
animal welfare methods every day. The Well-Being of Farm
Animals: Challenges and Solutions provides the information
veterinarians need to do both.
