Scientific paper evaluating the effects of feeding levels on conventionally-used welfare indicators for tilapia (presence/absence of skin lesions, body condition, weight gain, mortality rate) using an epidemiological approach. It shows that feeding levels directly affect welfare indicators and production.

CAWF report on chick beak trimming in the UK. It highlights the high level of pain and stress associated with the practice, which interferes with the natural behaviours of foraging, nest-building and interaction with conspecifics. It considers that the reason for the practice, pecking, could be prevented by changes to flock management.

Scientific review describing the disbudding techniques used in North America on dairy calves and assessing the welfare implications of the different pain-reduction techniques used in the procedure. It identifies the need for research to improve assessment of the pain felt by animals undergoing disbudding, to better understand the effects of xylazine sedation, and to determine other ways to reduce recovery times and the pain experienced by calves following disbudding.
