Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Increasing global population and improvements in the standard of living mean that there is a rapidly increasing demand for animal protein with intensified animal production. The international movement of animals and animal products has been made cheaper and faster through improved transport infrastructure. Increasing human and livestock population has placed pressure on wildlife habitats, resulting in closer contact between wildlife, domestic animal populations and humans with spreading and re-emergence of diseases as consequences of these risk factors. Managing these disease threats poses enormous challenges and requires good quality information: what diseases exist; where they are found; what impact they are having; which populations are at risk; how we can prevent, control or eradicate these diseases. Animal disease surveillance plays a central role in providing this information. Risk-based surveillance is not a particular technique; rather, it describes a general approach to undertaking disease surveillance. The principle is simple and self-evident: the most efficient way to find disease is to survey the animal populations that are most likely to be affected. This is in contrast to the more traditional statistically-based approach of taking representative samples from a population. While the idea of risk-based surveillance is simple, the implications are complex. The approach can be much more cost-effective for some purposes, but if misused, it can lead to serious errors or it can be more expensive than traditional approaches." --Publisher's description.

Download or read book The Regulation of Animal Health and Welfare written by John McEldowney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Regulation of Animal Health and Welfare draws on the research of scientists, lawyers, economists and political scientists to address the current and future regulatory problems posed by the issues of animal health and disease. Recent events such as the outbreak of mad cow disease, epidemics of foot and mouth disease, concerns about bluetongue in sheep, and the entry into the food chain of the offspring of cloned cattle, have heightened awareness of the issues of regulation in animal disease and welfare. This book critically appraises the existing regulatory institutions and guiding principles of how best to maintain animal health in the context of social change and a developing global economy. Addressing considerations of sound science, the role of risk management, and the allocation of responsibilities, it also takes up the theoretical and practical challenges which here – and elsewhere – attend the co-operation of scientists, social scientists, lawyers and policy makers. Indeed, the collaboration of scientists and social scientists in determined and regulatory contexts such as that of animal disease is an issue of ever-increasing importance. This book will be of considerable value to those with interests in this issue, as well as those concerned with the law and policy relating to animal health and welfare.

Download or read book Challenges of Animal Health Information Systems and Surveillance for Animal Diseases and Zoonoses written by and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2011 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal disease surveillance is key to improving disease analysis, early warning and predicting disease emergence and spread. As a preventive measure, disease surveillance is aimed at reducing animal health-related risks and major consequences of disease outbreaks on food production and livelihoods. Early warning systems are dependent on the quality of animal disease information collected at all levels via effective surveillance; therefore, data gathering and sharing is essential to understand the dynamics of animal diseases in diverse agro-ecological settings to support effective decision-making to prevent disease and for emergency response. Animal disease surveillance systems track zoonotic dieases and identify emerging diseases and, as such, are recognized as a global public good to support improved animal and global public health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal diseases can have a negative impact on animal welfare, public health and the economy. This particularly applies to infectious diseases like bird flu, Q fever and swine fever. Farmers, vets and the government work together to control these diseases. Animal diseases result in increased mortality and morbidity in livestock populations. Disease may affect performance through reduced fertility, delays in reaching maturity for reproduction or sale, decreased production of milk, eggs, or wool, decreased draught power, or decreased weight of fattening or cull animals. Animals raised by small-scale producers and backyard farmers in developing countries tend to be plagued with re-infection, and they typically lack access to diagnosis and control programs. Epidemiological studies usually involve sampling from livestock populations in some way in order to make inferences about a disease or diseases present in these populations.Principles & Methods of Sampling in Animal Diseases Surveys presents methods and techniques for conducting an animal disease surveillance program, and developing an animal health monitoring system. It will be of valued in veterinary epidemiology and regulatory medicine, where there is need for a crisp assortment of material on animal disease monitoring, surveillance, and reporting tactics. This need arises from a new age of international trade regulations established on animal diseases, new demands for accountability in utilization of research funds, and calls for prioritizing and economically justifying animal health regulatory and diagnostic accomplishments. The book is intended to researchers & practitioners, and other animal health authorities who are working in world-wide based programs.

Download or read book Overview Report on the Use of Indicators for Animal Welfare at Farm Level written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes the outcome of a Commission's two-year project looking at Member States' approach to ensuring animal welfare on farm. The project explored their use of quality management systems for official controls, their use of animal welfare indicators for measuring the extent and seriousness of animal welfare problems and the reliability of the data they collect and report. Although there are promising developments from private standards in identifying suitable animal welfare indicators which are accepted by both the agri-food sector and by competent authorities, there is today no single set of indicators that are universally used to measure the state or evolution of animal welfare at farm level. However, it would be feasible to establish specific and appropriate indicators for different farming systems or production sectors to monitor whether the animal welfare conditions are improving, remaining stable or worsening. In order to establish such indicators, a number of essential steps must be taken, such as defining a clear objective, determining the starting state and implementing a monitoring process. Different interest groups are already using animal welfare indicators extensively (competent authorities, producers, private veterinarians). The data collected and reported by Member States reflect individual legal requirements without providing a clear judgement of the severity of the problem, and they do not give a picture of the animal welfare situation. The EU and its Member States face challenges when assessing compliance and compliance trendswith the legal requirements on animal welfare at farm level. This is because they have not set specific objectives nor baselines (points of comparison) and they have not defined how they intend to monitor progress. Member States approach to animal welfare is incoherent regarding the setting of policy objectives, use of indicators and analysis to inform future actions. This absence of objectives, baselines and indicators is common across many national projects that seek EU funds to improve animal welfare over and above the minimum legal requirements. The absence of all necessary elements (objective/target, indicators and monitoring system) before implementing the project makes it difficult to evaluate the real impact they have on the animals' wellbeing. Establishing the real state of welfare of animals is complex, because it depends on aspects such as health, environment and their ability to express natural behaviour. The current methods to determine the actual welfare of the animals on farms are generally time consuming and thus they increase production costs. Introducing automatic monitoring technologies at farm level and monitoring at other levels (e.g. slaughterhouses) may address some of these difficulties in the future. Overall, it appears that authorities only used animal welfare indicators when they were part of the legal requirements. They are however slowly moving towards incorporating indicators beyond those prescribed in legislation to assess the welfare of animals during their official controls. When authorities use indicators their controls provide a better assessment of the real state of welfare of animals at farm level. The majority of the EU requirements for animal welfare at farm focus on the provision of resources rather than animal based requirements. The European Commission could explore the feasibility to include animal welfare indicators within the current review of EU animal welfare legislation, looking at different types of possible purposes: to determine compliance trends in this area and support enforcement efforts, to provide feedback to farmers and help them improve their practices, and to gather macro-level data on the state of welfare of farm animals in order to inform policy-making at EU and national level.
