Education Services Divisions SAC Outlook Introduction The Outlook for Scottish Agriculture: Policy Reform and Economic Challenges Agriculture and the Environment Have GM Crops a Place in Scottish Agriculture? ... Version Animal Health and Welfare Professor John Oldham, Professor Alistair Lawrence, Dr Chris Low The future shape of the livestock industries in Scotland will be driven by the market environment, subsidy structure and social expectations. Animal health and welfare can be expected to feature significantly in each of these. Either in the form of consumer demands influencing the market or as policy requirements for the “general good”, there will be steady pressure to improve the health and welfare status of our national herds and flocks. Concerns over animal welfare have already had a considerable influence on the development of animal production systems over the last 10-15 years. Sociological research indicates a widespread empathy with animals within the EU, and it is likely that animal welfare will continue to be a major factor influencing political and commercial decisions on the development of livestock production for the foreseeable future. Set against this positive societal and political attitude towards animal welfare, there is a real danger that increased welfare standards will make EU animal products uncompetitive, and “drive” livestock production outside the trading block. This scenario, sometimes referred to as “exporting of cruelty”, is of no benefit to the EU or to the animal as lower costs of production in non-EU countries may well come at the cost of lower welfare standards.

43. Health And Welfare Our goal in teaching animal health and welfare at UNE is to help students Sci., B. livestock Sci. and B.Ag. but students from many other degree strands http://ansc.une.edu.au/ansc/health/health_welfare_index.html

While UNE does not offer a degree in Veterinary Science, it has a long history of teaching and research in the area of production animal health and welfare. Disease is one of the key environmental factors influencing animal production and wellbeing. In doing so it interacts in complex ways with other environmental influences and with the host animal genes. Our goal in teaching animal health and welfare at UNE is to help students understand these interactions and thus develop a holistic approach to maintaining animal health and wellbeing. Our teaching is mainly to students doing B.Rur.Sci., B. Livestock Sci. and B.Ag. but students from many other degree strands are exposed to the basic principles of health and disease management in livestock. For those people with a special interest in this area, a certificate in Animal Health and Welfare is available. Our teaching and research in this area is greatly facilitated by our rural location, our close links with the livestock industry and relevant institutions such as CSIRO Livestock Industries , the excellent facilities we have at our disposal and the "systems" approach to understanding and evaluating agricultural enterprises which is characteristic of UNE.

III. Environmental, Health, and Welfare Issues on Thai Livestock Sector 3.1 Environmental Problems and Scaling-up 3.1.1 Environmental Problems Stemming from Livestock Production As for the odor problem, large swine farms often locate over massive land spaces away from community. This can reduce the conflicts on acerbic odors. For the smaller scaled farms that have been operating for a long period of time in swine communities, expanding civilization could quickly catch up with their current locations, and cause conflict between the farms and the community. In the municipal district of NakhonRatchasima province in the Northeastern region, complaints have frequently been filed regarding the pollution from farms, restrained by their limited lands, which have no pond of any kinds to ameliorate toxic waste water. The farms simply discharge wastewater directly into public waterways, leading to endless friction between farm owners and protests from the community. Poultry farms generally create wastes in the form of solid waste, odor, dust and flies. However, as the size of poultry farm increases together with the increase in the adoption of closed system there has been helped reduce odor (and flies) created from the solid waste. At the same time, it also reduces fly problem. The negative impact of the closed system is the dust problem. However, this problem could be treated by the installation of filter system to trap dust. As a result, pollution problems in poultry have decreased with industrialization.

Improving health and welfare in animal production edited by Harry J. Blokhuis, E. Dinand Ekkel, ID Lelystad, The Netherlands and Beat Wechsler, Swiss Federal Veterinary Office 2000, EAAP publication no 102, 132 pages, paperback REVIEW Livestock Production Science, August 2001 Animal production systems are increasingly open to the scrutiny of the public eye. The foot and mouth epidemic and its mass culls have laid bare the industrial character of modern farming in unprecedented way, exposing how animal lives have become a commodity in an increasingly globalized trade. The public have expressed so much concern that mainstream political parties have put 'intensive farming' on their agenda, promising to work towards more 'welfare-friendly' alternatives. One option is to encourage conversion to organic farming, however at present such a change seems too radical to be feasible on a larger scale. There is thus a need to 'de-intensify' current farming systems, and to improve farm animal health and welfare in an economically viable way. In the management of animal health and welfare on farms quality assurance schemes play an increasingly important role. Such schemes guarantee certain standards of animal care, and help to create a market for high-quality foods. However these things are easier said than done. The development of practicable, economically viable alternative housing systems requires intense research effort by scientists, and commitment by consumers to pay the extra price. The development of easy-to-measure, reliable quality assurance codes is another demanding task. It is encouraging therefore that across Europe, and to some extent on other continents, researchers have taken on these tasks.

Specific livestock production technologies, like feeding low levels of antimicrobial drugs to livestock, become important when they have the potential to impact food safety or human health. Antimicrobial resistance (the ability of bacteria or other microbes to resist the effects of antimicrobial drugs) is a global concern for both human health and agriculture. Moreover, animal diseases increasingly affect international trade, food safety, and human health. The care and welfare of animals raised for food has also become an issue for consumers in some countries. Feeding low levels of antimicrobial drugs to livestock can affect food safety, human health, and livestock production costs and returns.

Organic livestock are fed, housed and looked after with a great deal of attention focused on their welfare. Organic farmers make sure that the animals have bedding (usually straw) and have lots of space to move around. By taking good care of the animals and feeding them well with a natural diet they have a much healthier life. This is in great contrast to the terrible conditions factory farmed and intensively reared animals live in. Standards have been set which aim to keep livestock in good health by promoting good standards of animal welfare, appropriate diets (herbivores should never eat animal proteins) and good day-to-day care. If animals are ill, the farmer must make sure they are treated properly. Antibiotics and other medicines are sometimes used but only when there is no alternative treatment available or where they need to save an animals life or reduce its suffering. if treatment has been given, no product from the animal can be sold as organic for some time after the medicine was used. Very often, farmers use homeopathic treatments to help keep their animals healthy. The organic approach is a "preventative" approach by providing a better environment for the animals in the first place.. Organophosphorus pesticides can never be used to treat animals which are sold as organic.

We are pleased to have the opportunity of responding to the House of Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee report on Vets and veterinary services. 2. The Council has long been concerned that the continuing decline in the number of large animal practitioners could be leading to the lack of adequate veterinary cover for farm animals in some parts of the country, particularly in remote areas, and affecting ongoing assessment of animal welfare both in relation to health/disease and behavioural assessment of welfare. The difficulty of providing sufficient cover in such areas to ensure that essential clinical services are available, and animal suffering alleviated, is compounded by the distances between practices and farms in terms of geography and travelling time. 7. Although we would press the case for more and better-trained large animal vets, we do not advocate an indiscriminate injection of support into all large animal practices. The practices must be able to demonstrate their ability, willingness and commitment to provide a high quality and flexible service to their farmer clients. This must include appropriate support in health and welfare planning in line with the aspirations of the Health and Welfare Strategy coupled with a very real commitment to contributing to veterinary surveillance in terms of both disease and welfare. As in all fields, we perceive that some veterinary practices are better than others and it is important that support is targeted towards those most able to provide the needed services to livestock farming.
