摘要

Global population growth creates the quandary of meeting increased demands for food,particularly in developing nations, while addressing ethical and sustainability concerns about food production that already challenge developed nations.The issue of farm animal welfare has rapidly become a hallmark of contemporary debates about animal agriculture.In the US,continuous confinement housing and behavioral restriction of animals have become primary areas of concern, although additional significant threats to animal well-being exist.These include inappropriate animal handling and other poor quality human-animal interactions on farms.Handling of non-ambulatory animals, and painful practices performed without analgesia,such as castration, tail docking and dehorning remain problematic.On-farm euthanasia methods and the timeliness of euthanasia decisions warrant attention, along with the distress, injury and mortality associated with animal loading and transport.Research on public perceptions of farm animal welfare in the US suggests that many citizens feel that agricultural animals are insufficiently protected.Concerns related to global trade and the pressure for multinational corporations to consistently meet social responsibility expectations make it imperative to address animal welfare even in nations where animal agriculture is still developing.It is therefore critical for the scientific and veterinary communities to be well versed in scientific advancements and challenges relative to farm animal welfare as well as the nature and reasons for public concerns.The latter is particularly important to facilitate improved communication,trust and perceived competence relative to current and emerging farm animal welfare issues.
