Auditing The Welfare of Cattle and Pigs
(Webinar length:  1h 18m)

Overview:

Effective standards to audit the welfare of cattle and pigs must not be vague.  Words such as
proper, sufficient or adequate should be avoided because one person’s idea of adequate
conditions may be different from another person’s opinion.  The approach to developing
animal welfare standards is similar to the critical control point approach that is used in food
safety. The principle is to choose relatively few measures that are indicators of many
problems.

A scoring system was developed for humane slaughter that has five critical control points.  
They are: 1) percentage of animals effectively stunned with one application of the stunner; 2)
percentage rendered permanently insensible; 3) percentage vocalizing (bellow or squeal) in
the stun box; 4) percentage of animals that fall down; and, 5) percentage moved with an
electric prod.

All these measures are outcome-based measures.  For a plant to pass an audit, it must
receive an acceptable score on all five measures.  Audits should be designed so that things
that can be directly observed are the most important.  Assessments of paperwork are less
effective because paperwork is easy to falsify.  The use of outcome based numerical scoring
also makes it possible to determine if procedures are getting better or getting worse.

Learning objectives:

To understand how to write clear animal welfare guidelines
To understand the use of critical control points to measure the most important things
To understand the numerical measures of animal welfare that make it possible to determine if
practices are improving or becoming worse
