The Sciences of Animal Welfare analyses the diverse, interconnecting
subjects which constitute this fascinating multidisciplinary field,
whilst also considering the limitations and benefits of those subjects
to the development and future of Animal Welfare Science. This book
examines past, present and future practices and thinking, including the
wide-ranging interests within society that influence attitudes towards
animals and conversely how animal welfare scientists may influence those
attitudes.

Key themes of the book include:

• Multi-disciplinary working and its benefits: how we can obtain fresh
insights, enliven our thinking and improve animal welfare by operating
widely within diverse disciplines

• Questioning the fundamental assumptions we each make about animals and
their functional capabilities.

The authors acknowledge the field’s debt to past successes in
animal-based science disciplines, successes that markedly improved
animal welfare long before the concept of animal welfare entered common
parlance. They also recognise the problems which unexpectedly arose, and
anticipate future successes.

Suggesting innovative approaches to Animal Welfare Science, and written
by world renowned experts, The Sciences of Animal Welfare is essential
reading for anyone interested, studying or currently working in Animal
Welfare Science.

This book is part of the UFAW/Wiley-Blackwell Animal Welfare Book
Series. This major series of books produced in collaboration between
UFAW (The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare), and
Wiley-Blackwell provides an authoritative source of information on
worldwide developments, current thinking and best practice in the field
of animal welfare science and technology. For details of all of the
