Animal Care and Welfare

AbstractVeterinary technology relies heavily on animal care and welfare, which focuses on the mentaland physical health of animals managed by humans. Adequate feeding, housing, diseaseprevention, humane handling, and ethical treatment in a variety of animal sectors are allincluded in the idea of animal welfare. The evaluation and maintenance of animal well-beinghas been completely transformed by advancements in veterinary technology, including welfarebased management systems, behavioral assessment tools, and precision livestock monitoring(Broom, 2019). Furthermore, in order to evaluate stress, discomfort, and comfort in bothdomestic and farm animals, animal welfare science has combined physiological, behavioral,and environmental variables (Fraser, 2021).Notwithstanding these advancements, problems still exist, such as handlers' low understandingof animal welfare, lax enforcement of animal protection regulations, and financial strains onanimal industry (Mellor, 2016). The "One Welfare" approach, which connects animal welfare tohuman well-being and environmental sustainability, is highlighted by emerging research(Pinillos, 2018). Encouraging education, policy implementation, and technology innovation inveterinary practice is crucial to upholding moral principles and improving animal welfare.
