"Animal welfare issues are becoming increasingly prominent in animal production, for both economic and moral reasons. Animal Welfare and Meat Production presents a comprehensive coverage of the relationships and conflicts between the welfare of major food animal species and the commercial needs of the meat and livestock industry." "With focus on recent research and developments, this edition includes new contributions on animal welfare in developing countries, animal genetics and welfare, animal slaughter, aquaculture and auditing standards for assessing welfare at farms and abattoirs." "It is essential reading for students and practitioners in animal welfare and animal science, and will also be of interest to readers in meat, veterinary and food sciences, and applied ethology."--BOOK JACKET.
