More Info Factory Farms U.S. society is extremely naive about the nature of agricultural production. [I]f the public knew more about the way in which agricultural and animal production infringes on animal welfare, the outcry would be louder. Bernard E. Rollin, PhD, Farm Animal Welfare , Iowa St U. Press, 1995 M any people believe that animals raised for food must be treated well because sick or dead animals would be of no use to agribusiness. This is not true. In an article recommending space be reduced from 8 to 6 square feet per pig, industry journal National Hog Farmer Video Meet Your Meat order Birds "In my opinion, if most urban meat eaters were to visit an industrial broiler house, to see how the birds are raised, and could see the birds being “harvested” and then being “processed” in a poultry processing plant, they would not be impressed and some, perhaps many of them would swear off eating chicken and perhaps all meat."

April 1996 Volume 34, Number 2 Teaching Animal Agriculture to Young Children James W. Smith Associate Professor and Extension Dairy Scientist University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service Athens, Georgia Internet address: jimsmith@uga.cc.uga.edu Joe W. West Associate Professor of Animal and Dairy Science University of Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station Tifton, Georgia Improving public awareness of the role of food animals requires education. Two educational programs in Georgia were developed to expose children to factual information about animal agriculture. The annual Animal Science First Grade Field Day, conducted at the University of Georgia's Coastal Plain Experiment Station at Tifton, has reached more than 5,200 first-grade students since its inception in 1988. A unique feature of this program is the classroom instruction prior to the field day demonstration phase. Lesson plans were developed in cooperation with teachers. The students typically study food animal agriculture for one to two hours each day for 10 days prior to the field day. At the field day, students see demonstrations involving dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, swine, and catfish. An experiment station employee is a guide on each school bus. Groups rotate among three demonstration sites. They spend about 12-15 minutes at three demonstrations at each site for a total of nine presentations. They listen to scientists and technicians. The beef and sheep site consists of a roping demonstration; instruction about a beef cow, calf, yearling, and bull; and discussion of sheep and lamb management. At the swine and aquaculture demonstration site, children hear about catfish farming; see a farrowing house; touch a baby pig; and hear how pigs grow. When students visit the dairy site, they participate in bottle feeding a calf; see cows being milked; and hear how cows are fed and managed. An ice cream treat helps reinforce the relationship between product and source.

Animal Agriculture, Our Living Business . . . Most people want food that has been produced responsibly and with respect for all living things. But what is fact and what is myth where animal agriculture is concerned? How do agricultural practices today differ from those used in the past? And do practices that lead to higher productivity conflict with the idea of caring for livestock and producing wholesome products? Caring producers and others in the animal agriculture industry have valuable information to share about good livestock production. This information is based on life-long learning, the best research conducted in the world, and a commitment to animal agriculture as a "living business". In 1995, "Animal Agriculture, Our Living Business," a 13-minute video and companion booklet, was produced by FACS to provide straightforward information about Saskatchewan's livestock industry. With the assistance of Saskatchewan Education, the kit was distributed to all schools and libraries across the province. Check your local library for a copy.

EAAP 55th Annual Meeting Session ML5 "Ethics in Animal Agriculture" held in Bled, Slovenia, 7 september 2004. Eberhart von Borell Michel Marie Chairman of the Session The first two contributions introduce the ethical issues arising in animal production, from examples taken in intensive farming and in use of new biotechnologies. The philosophical bases of the human-animal relationship are explored, as well as the ways to facilitate an ethical dialogue between the stakeholders. Then, case studies from practical in-farm situations, analyses of the general public and of scientists ethical perceptions and conceptions, give a matter for reflection. The last contributions tackle the way forward to normative ethics and the setting up of ethical rules and good practices at different levels: farmers, professional bodies, society, and consider regulations, either in particular countries, in Europe, or at the global level. 140 persons attended the Session. The text of the presentations can be obtained from the EAAP website or by contacting the authors, and will be published in a special issue of Livestock Production Science in 2005.

HOME Premises Identification The First Step Toward a National Animal Identification System Protecting American animal agriculture by safeguarding animal health is vital to the wellbeing of all US citizens. It promotes human health; provides wholesome, reliable, and secure food resources; mitigates national economic threats; and enhances a sustainable environment. Essential to achieving this goal is an efficient and effective animal and premises identification program. Louisiana is building upon previously established and successful animal health and animal identification programs involving many animal industry-state-federal partnerships. The goal of premises and animal identification is to more uniformly coordinate a national animal identification plan with all states. More than 100 animal industry and state-federal government professionals representing more than 70 allied associations/organizations collectively assessed and suggested workable improvements to meet further U.S. animal identification needs. Fundamental to controlling any disease threat, foreign or domestic, to the nation’s animal resources is to have a system that can identify individual animals or groups, the premises where they are located, and the date of entry to that premises. Further, in order to achieve optimal success in controlling or eradicating an animal health threat, the ability to retrieve that information within 48 hours of confirmation of a disease outbreak and to implement intervention strategies is necessary.

CHAPTER 1 - A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE ON TROPICAL ANIMAL AGRICULTURE Global Changes in Animal Agriculture Animal agriculture in. grazing, mixed crop-livestock, specialised and industrial systems is an integral part of food-producing systems, with food of animal origin providing about one sixth of human food energy and a third of the protein on a global basis. Animals convert forages, crop residues and food and fibre by-products to high quality human food, provide draught power for about half the world's crop production and manure to help maintain soil fertility, and are an important part of rural economies. Animals also consume one-third of the global grain supply, and in a world with the human population estimated to reach 7.7 billion by 2020, and with limited opportunity to expand arable land, the role of animal agriculture in human food supply for developing countries is likely to grow substantially. Higher incomes (3.8% increase per annum in developing countries from 1985 to 1995) associated with rapid urbanisation and high population growth (2% per annum) lead to increased consumption of meat, milk and eggs in the developing countries'. There is also increased demand for quality products, particularly from growing middle income classes. The expansion of the livestock industry, with annual growth rates from 1982 to 1993 for all developing countries of 7.4% for poultry, 6.1% for pork, 5.3% for all meat and 3.1% for milk, is a multiple of the expansion of cereal production indicating major shifts occurring in the diets of billions of people in the developing world.

Our files are crammed with news photos of crying young boys and girls forced to give up their calves, lambs, and other animals at auctions as if they were no more than prized pumpkins or tomatoes. Youth agriculture programs allow children to raise and grow to love animals and then expect them to send the animals they've showered with attention and care off to a violent, terrifying death. It's cruel to the animals and emotionally abusive to the children. Youth livestock programs have no place in a society where eating meat is unnecessary for human health and survival. Programs that purport to teach students about modern farming techniques do nothing of the sort. Modern farming operations have thousands of animals kept in crowded confinement with little to no contact with humans. School agriculture programs don't teach children about the reality of factory farming. They also teach children that their natural affinity and respect for animals is wrong, that they shouldn't cry when the animals who trust and enjoy their company are betrayed and sent off with strangers to be slaughtered.
