Animal Welfare
The Australian livestock industry and animal welfare
In Australia, protecting animal wellbeing is a legal requirement. The Australian livestock industry has stringent animal welfare standards & guidelines with a set of internationally recognised ‘Five Domains of Animal Welfare’ to adhere to. The five domains are:
Nutrition – availability and quality of feed and water
Environment – atmospheric and environmental conditions
Health – presence or absence of disease and injury
Behaviour – restriction or expression of behaviour
Mental state – subjective feelings and experiences
