Cattle welfare aspects of animal hygiene

Sammanfattning

Industrialized cattle production is presently the subject of great changes, which in some respects have great detrimental impact on the animals. Modern intensive production systems often disregard the animals' behavioural needs, causing unnecessary stress and disease. In the light of Swedish cattle husbandry standards, housing, management, feeding, transport and slaughter practices, and animal welfare legislation are discussed, focusing on some specific welfare-related problems. Implications for future cattle husbandry are presented, heading for a sustainable food production
