Measuring and Auditing Broiler Welfare
By C. Weeks, A. Butterworth
Pages: 336
Publisher: CABI
Edition: 2004
Language: English
ISBN: 978-0851998053
Description
In response to concerns about animal welfare, food assurance schemes are now incorporating standards for animal welfare. This is particularly important in the poultry industry, where much attention has focused on the welfare of broilers (meat birds). However, there is as a result a greater need for scientifically-based methods for the measurement and auditing of welfare.This book brings together papers by international experts from the academic, professional and industrial sectors. It examines practical ways of measuring and auditing broiler welfare on-farm, during transit and pre-slaughter. Related marketing issues and future developments such as automation, are also discussed.
Enjoy! :up:
