Free Web site hosting - Freeservers.com Keeping Animals Healthy A healthy animal grows quickly, making the best use of the food it is given, and will produce good quality meat, milk or eggs for humans to eat and produce such as wool and leather for humans to use. A sick or suffering animal will not grow quickly so it costs more to feed. It is in farmers' best interests to make sure that the animals in their care are kept healthy throughout their lives. Meat, milk and egg products from diseased animals are often not good enough to eat because many diseases can affect the eating or keeping quality of the food product. In some instances, it may even be unsafe to eat food from sick animals, which could be carrying disease. To ensure that animals are kept in the best possible conditions the Farm Animal Welfare Council has issued Codes of Recommendation for each species which expand on general welfare legislation. These Codes indicate the general aims and likely future amendments to legislation. All say "the basic requirement for the welfare of livestock is a husbandry system appropriate to the health and, so far as is practicable, the behavioural needs of the animals, and a high standard of stockmanship". Animal Welfare and Animal Medicines The Five Freedoms Farmers work to a code of five freedoms for their animals: Freedom from hunger Freedom from thirst Freedom from pain Freedom from fear Freedom of movement Animals need medicines too. They suffer many similar diseases to humans. Mostly, however, they suffer infectious diseases caused by bacteria or viruses, internal parasite infestation, such as worms, and external parasites such as lice and mites. Like young children, young animals catch infectious diseases such as colds, flu and stomach bugs, and transfer parasites between themselves. Diseases can spread quickly between animals.

ORGANIC LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION Animal Health and Welfare Research Priorities th September 1996 INTRODUCTION In September 1995, a six months study was initiated to assess the major animal health and welfare constraints in UK organic livestock systems. The principal aim of the study was to identify research priorities required for further development of this sector. In particular, the study was designed to gather information on livestock management and health status directly from organic producers. European agriculture has, over the past decades, been dominated by high input and high output systems. Scientific and public concerns over intensive agricultural practices have, however, increased in the recent years. Some commentators have predicted a more extensive agricultural future (North, 1990; HMSO, 1990; Neville-Rolfe, 1990; Taylor and Dixon, 1990; Hodges and Scofield, 1988; Lampkin, 1990). Simultaneously, there is an increasing awareness that organic farming practices may provide an opportunity to supply food that meets changing consumer demands and satisfies the requirement for more environmentally acceptable systems of production. There has been an unprecedented increase in organic farming in Europe during the last decade (Vogtmann, 1995). In some countries, this has also been reflected in a growing number of livestock managed organically. However, whilst there has been a general increase in the research into organic farming, little attention has been directed to animal health and welfare issues (Borgen, ed., 1995; Lampkin, personal comm.).

The book covers a myriad of topics related to health and welfare of farm animals. Included are definitions, codes of practice, monitoring systems, behavioral aspects, and problems associated with feeding and housing. Also included is information on legislation in Great Britain and the European Community. The book ends with a chapter on the impact of biotechnology on animal welfare and health.

17. Australian Meat Safety: Animal Welfare Practices Producers of CATTLECARE and Flockcare accredited ranches are required to implementprocedures to ensure the health and welfare of livestock are not compromised http://www.australianmeatsafety.com/animalwelfare.html

Animal Welfare Practices Cattlecare Truckcare At The Saleyards AQIS The Australian meat and livestock industry takes the welfare of livestock very seriously and regards it as a high priority. This priority was formalized in 1987 when operational guidelines for the welfare of animals at processing plants were published. The guidelines were revised for a second time in 1995. The implementation of codes of practice for the welfare of cattle and sheep on farm, during transportation and at saleyards, completes the picture. This ensures that producers, livestock handlers and processing plant workers are equipped with animal welfare standards from the farm to the point when the animal processed. Animal welfare has gathered serious momentum this year with large foodservice chains such as Burger King McDonalds and Wendy's , implementing animal welfare and handling guidelines. Exercising such guidelines ultimately has two outcomes. Firstly, the quality of life of animals continues to be a priority even after livestock leave the farm or feedlot. Secondly, less stressed animals have a proven positive effect on meat quality and safety. Animal Welfare Practices Australia has a Code of Practice for the Welfare of Livestock. This sets an industry standard by defining acceptable cattle and sheep management practices that should be employed by ranchers.

These standards aim to keep livestock in good health by promoting high standards of animal welfare, appropriate diets and good day-to-day care of stock. Id animals are ill, the farmer must give appropriate treatment. Antibiotics and other conventional medicines are used under veterinary advice and only where no alternative treatment is available or where necessary to save an animal's life or to reduce suffering. In such cases no product from the animal concerned may be sold as organic for a period from the last use of the medicine which in most cases is twice as long as the normal 'withdrawal period' for that medicine. There are requirements to ensure humane conditions for animals in transport and at slaughter.
