Abstract

Gerek tüketici talepleri ve ulusal yönetmelikler ve gerekse de uluslararası gıda kalite standartları pazardaki ürünün niteliğini şekillendirmektedir. Bugün, Dünya hayvansal üretim tekniklerinde gıda kalitesi ve çevre koruma prensiplerine dayanarak şekillenen revizyon olarak da tanımlayabileceğimiz hayvan refahı hayvansal gıda için ürün niteliğini tanımlayan önemli faktörlerden birisidir. Hayvan refahı kalite standartlarının sürdürülebilmesi için çiftlikte hayvan refahı değerlendirmeleri anahtar bir role sahiptir. Hayvan refahının bilimsel metotlarla değerlendirilmesi bakımından biyolojik işleyiş, duygusal durum ve doğal yaşam olarak isimlendirilen üç ayrı kuramsal çerçeve bulunmaktadır. Bu derlemede, hayvan refahı göstergeleri kullanılarak geliştirilmiş bazı refah değerlendirme yöntemleri ile refah değerlendirme protokolleri tartışılmıştır.

Scientific Approaches For On-Farm Animal Welfare Assessment

Abstract

Consumer demands, national legislation and international food quality standarts shape the quality of the product in the market. In the global livestock production techniques, animal welfare which can be defined as the revision that was shaped based on the food and environmental protection principles, is one of the important factors defining product quality for food of animal origin. On- farm assessment of animal welfare has a key importance in order to sustain of the welfare quality standards. There are three different theoretical framework for assessing animal welfare in a scientific manner known as biological mechanism, the emotional state and natural behaviour. In this review, some welfare assessment methods and welfare assessment protocols were discussed which have been developed using animal welfare indicators.
