Animal Husbandry and Welfare

Animal husbandry refers to the breeding and raising of animals for agricultural purposes, including food, fiber, and labor. It encompasses practices aimed at managing the health, nutrition, and breeding of livestock. Animal welfare, on the other hand, focuses on the well-being of these animals, ensuring they are treated humanely and live in appropriate conditions. This includes providing proper shelter, diet, and veterinary care, as well as ensuring that animals can express natural behaviors. Together, animal husbandry and welfare aim to promote sustainable agricultural practices while ensuring the ethical treatment of animals.
