IWTO Welfare Guidelines • Quality supply of food and water • Regular inspection of animals • Take full responsibility for the health of
animals in your care • Utilize best possible facilities when housing
and working with animals • Detailed requirements e.g. transportation,
contained in local government legislation

Profit versus Welfare
• Profit needed for survival of the Agri Business
• Well managed animals are more profitable • Healthy farm animals reduce farming costs • Scientific proof of this • “ Taking care of the animal during slaughter,
improves the taste of the meat’’

Farming with a plan
• Understand the end consumer • Organize Agriculture with clear objectives • Keep precise records • Adhere to local legislation and engage
legislative bodies • Assist in creating sound animal welfare
science for the future

Challenges
• To engage different size farming businesses • Show the benefit in record keeping • Find attractive supply management systems • Communicate increased costs to the end
consumer • Keep informed on market focus and trends

Focus on the environment • The consumer excepts Animal Welfare to be
included in Environmental policies • Taking care of natural resources are vital • Holistic livestock management e.g. Savory
