The objective of
this work was to evaluate a system for assessing the welfare of milking sheep
and goats in practical farm conditions.
The system uses
indicators of environmental, management and facilities related
welfare. In order to evaluate the animal welfare, 12 indicators ranked in 3
groups were defined.
Environment
Animal Welfare (EAW, n = 4) (temperature, airflow, ventilation and ammonia
load) Management Animal Welfare (MAW, n = 5) (animal load, bedding, comfort,
stress and cleanness of animals) and Facilities Animal Welfare (FAW, n = 3)
(feeders of concentrate, feeders of forage and watering).
