Farm Animal Welfare

Farm animal welfare refers to the well-being of animals raised for agricultural purposes, such as cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. It encompasses their physical health, mental state, and overall quality of life. Good welfare practices include providing adequate space, proper nutrition, veterinary care, and opportunities for natural behaviors. Concerns about animal welfare have led to movements advocating for humane treatment, higher standards of living conditions, and ethical farming practices. Ultimately, improving farm animal welfare benefits not only the animals but also enhances food safety and quality for consumers.
