Animal welfare OIE definition (glossary) means how an animal is coping with the conditions in which it lives. An
animal is in a good state of welfare if (as indicated by scientific evidence) it
is healthy, comfortable, well nourished, safe, able to express innate
behaviour, and if it is not suffering from unpleasant states such as pain, fear
and distress. Good animal welfare requires disease prevention and
veterinary treatment, appropriate shelter, management, nutrition, humane
handling and human slaughter/killing.
Animal welfare refers to the state of the animal; the treatment that an animal
receives is covered by other terms such as animal care, animal husbandry,
and humane treatment.
