No results found.This study aims to give an overview of the legal framework that applies to animal welfare in the EU and a group of non-EU countries. It sets out the EU animal welfare legislation that applies to beef cattle, pigs, broilers (the chickens reared for meat) and egg-laying hens while they are on the farm, in transit and at slaughter. It then examines the implementation of the EU legislation in three EU member states, namely, Italy in Southern Europe, Poland in Central and Eastern Europe and the Unite d Kingdom in North-West Europe. The study then focuses on six non-EU countries: Egypt, Morocco, the Russian Federation, Serbia, Turkey and Ukraine. For each of these countries, it provides an overview of the legislation on animal welfare applying to beef, pork and poultry production systems. It goes on to compare the legislation of these countries with that of the EU and to examine how it is implemented. Next, an overview is provided of the animal welfare standards of four international organiza tions: the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the Council of Europe and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), which is part of the World Bank Group. As the progress on animal welfare is increasingly driven by private sector and civil society initiatives, a number of private standards established by major food businesses and animal welfare organizations are also analyzed. -

Also available in:
No results found.This is the 18th of a series of Working Papers prepared for the Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI). The purpose of these papers is to explore issues related to livestock development in the context of poverty alleviation. Livestock is vital to the economies of many developing countries. Animals are a source of food, more specifically protein for human diets, income, employment and possibly foreign exchange. For low-income producers, livestock can serve as a store of wealth, provide drau ght power and organic fertiliser for crop production and a means of transport. Consumption of livestock and livestock products in developing countries, though starting from a low base, is growing rapidly.
