Farm Animal Welfare In The U.S.
Since the publication of the Brambell Report and growth in the field of applied ethology, there has been an increase in public awareness of farmed animal welfare and animal welfare research and teaching.
Increasing awareness of farm animal welfare has occurred more slowly in the United States than in Europe. However, both interest and research into this area are increasing even in the U.S.
Applied ethologists have played a significant role in this increased awareness by providing research and serving as consultants and on advisory boards. This trend is expected to continue, although the long-term benefits will depend on the standards and programs in place to further foster industry improvement.
