Monitoring animal welfare standards can bring valuable insights for both WOAH and WOAH Members.
Through its Annual Report, the Observatory presents a global overview of the level of uptake of these standards that relate to animal welfare.
The animal welfare dashboard presents the results of the analysis in an interactive way.
