Farm management has changed radically in developed countries over the last five decades. Many of these changes are the result of intensification, which leads to farming conditions that are far removed from the natural conditions in which animals can freely express their natural behaviours. For example, laying hens in cages cannot scratch the ground or flap their wings, pregnant sows in individual gestation stalls are unable to prepare a nest for their future litters, and dairy cows are unable to suckle their calves. These changes do not appear to have had a negative effect on animal productivity, but they have raised deeper questions about the moral justification for keeping animals in such conditions. In developing countries, many societies, such as pastoralist peoples, have a long tradition and sophisticated knowledge of animals and animal husbandry. Indeed, the welfare and health of the herder and his family depend on the welfare and health of their animals. Recently, Western practices have spread to developing countries and people with no traditional connection to the keeping of livestock are beginning to work in this sector, particularly in intensive systems. This book is intended to meet the needs of both pastoralists who are the heirs to local traditions and small-scale farmers and businessmen interested in more intensive or Western-type peri-urban management systems. It will also be useful to those involved in rural development and to non-governmental organisations and agricultural advisory services. The book brings together information on the behaviour and welfare of production animals that is likely to be of use in tropical climates and is usually hard to find, being widely dispersed across the scientific literature.
