Agricultiure and Food Research Initiative - Animal Health and Well-Being: Animal Well-Being

This element focuses on enhancing animal well-being throughout the food production cycle by providing information on how animals of agricultural importance in the U.S. interact with the production environment and respond to animal management practices. Where appropriate, management practices will be developed that improve animal well-being. Such knowledge is needed to remain competitive globally and to maintain consumer trust through science-based studies. Research to ensure animal well-being may also help decrease animal management and health-care costs. This area addresses agricultural food security by helping to assure continued access of U.S. animal products to National and International markets.
