The welfare of goats
The welfare of goats[electronic resource] /edited by Silvana Mattiello, Monica Battini. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - x, 402 p. :ill. (chiefly color), digital ;24 cm. - Animal welfare ;v. 25. - Animal welfare ;v. 25..

Where do goats come from? -- Goats' natural behaviour -- Goat Emotions, cognition, and personality -- Welfare issues in goat farming: housing and nutrition -- Welfare issues in goat farming and management -- Painful procedures, transport and end-of-life management -- The welfare of goats in adverse environments -- Enhancing animal welfare through disease prevention in goats -- Assessing the welfare of goats -- Where are goats going? The future of goats for farming and other purposes.

This book focuses exclusively on the welfare of goats, which have peculiar behavioral characteristics and needs, and distinct individual personalities. Despite the many differences between goats and sheep, welfare and health issues of small ruminants have often been addressed together. Goats are extremely adaptable, now widespread and farmed all over the world. Usually bred for economic purposes (milk, meat and/or fibre), goats are also occasionally kept as pet animals, in educational farms, in zoos or for animal-assisted therapy. This wide range of conditions may elicit different challenges for their welfare. Readers of this volume are introduced to the goat species, starting from its origin and domestication process, and presentation of its natural behaviour and characteristics, including recent data on goats' ability to communicate, cognition capabilities and personality. Knowledge of these features is indispensable to allow a welfare-friendly approach to goat management. The authors then address all relevant aspects of goat welfare, covering issues related to housing, feeding, painful procedures and end-of-life management, with special emphasis on welfare challenges in adverse environments. An additional chapter is dedicated to the main health problems that can jeopardize goats' welfare. Finally, this volume highlights the latest research to on-farm welfare assessment with indicators and protocols for evaluation. This work will appeal to scholars of animal welfare science and biology, stakeholders in the livestock industry, as well as experts in goat-assisted interventions and pet owners. Video and audio files enrich the reading experience and can also be played from the print book using the free Springer Nature More Media app.
