    Summary

    Current farm animal welfare assessments lack systematic analysis and detailed justification. This paper proposes a sow-centric approach, translating welfare elements into quantifiable variables for improved consistency and longevity of welfare recommendations.

    Area of Science:

    • Animal Welfare Science
    • Agricultural Science
    • Veterinary Public Health

    Background:

    • Current farm animal welfare appraisal methods, such as UK welfare codes, exhibit significant limitations.
    • These limitations include a lack of systematic analysis, insufficient detail in welfare requirements, and absence of technical justification for recommendations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel approach for appraising farm animal welfare, specifically focusing on domestic sows.
    • To address the identified shortcomings in current welfare assessment methodologies.

    Main Methods:

    • The proposed approach centers on describing sow welfare from the animal's perspective.
    • Welfare elements are translated into quantifiable variables with defined boundaries for acceptability.
    • Thirteen key elements of welfare requirements for domestic sows are outlined.

    Main Results:

    • The paper outlines a systematic methodology for assessing sow welfare.
    • Quantifiable variables and acceptability boundaries are defined for thirteen welfare elements.
    • The approach provides a framework for more objective and detailed welfare evaluations.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed sow-centric, quantifiable approach offers a significant improvement over existing methods.
    • This methodology enhances the depth of welfare requirement investigation.
    • It promotes greater consistency and longevity for animal welfare codes and recommendations.
