9.4 Measurement approaches to welfare There are two general approaches of assessments: the environmental and the animal-based measurements (Bokma- Bakker et al., 2009). Whay et al. (2003) judge the environmental-based measurements as easier, because they are more objective and repeatable. This is more difficult with using direct observations to measure welfare. Bokma-Bakker et al. (2009) see that the present researches mainly used external parameter, so are environmental-based. The relation between the measurements and the animal welfare are not clear for them. Current researches often use direct observation, assessing parameters like condition, health, performance and behaviour. The advantage of animal-based indicators is that they are sensitive to variations in farm management and static system design variables. This means they are more reliable in terms of assessing animal welfare (Blockhuis et al., 2000). According to Johnsen (2001) it is a unsatisfactory guide for the real level of animal welfare, when assessing environmental conditions and criteria of stockman care, rather than combining these with records of animal-based parameters. There exist different assessment and measurement techniques for animal welfare based on the different approaches. Bracke et al. (1999) developed a list of needs. They say that every need must be considered when assessing welfare. The list contains the following needs: food and foraging, water, resting, thermoregulation, respiratory, health and injuries, social contact, reproductive behaviour, maternal behaviour, play, exploration, safety, movement, elimination and body care. The animal needs index (ANI) has been developed in Austria. It is a scoring system for specified housing conditions. The sum of the total points gives the level of animal welfare (Bartussek, 2001). The ANI reflects conditions of environmental aspects: 1) the possibility of mobility 2) social contact 3) condition of flooring for lying, standing and walking 4) ambient climate 5) quality of human care. If comparing the list of needs, the Five Freedoms and the ANI it can be seen that they correspond on most parts. In Germany the “Tiergerechtheitsindex (TGI)” is used. It uses the same idea of summing up as the ANI, but differs in detail (Bartussek, 2001). In the UK the “Freedom Food Scheme” exists. It assess all welfare relevant resources which are available to the animal on an environmental-based level (Keeling, 2005). The Bristol University evaluated this scheme, because the environmental-based measurements were not sufficient (Webster, 2004, Weeks, 2004). The semantic modelling is a computer-based decision support system which combines animal and environmental-based measurements on the basis of scientific knowledge (Bracke et al., 1999). Wemelsfelder (2007) describes the qualitative behaviour assessment which reflects the whole animal using subjective descriptions like “calm” or “nervous”. Another project is the Welfare Quality Project of the EU. Its aim is to develop a reliable assessment system for animal welfare. It uses mainly animal-based measurements. Environmental-based parameters are used where no alternative is available and for advising on animal welfare. It includes twelve topics of concern which are grouped into four welfare principles (Bokma-Bakker et al., 2009): 1) Are the animals properly fed and supplied with water? 2) Are the animals properly housed? 3) Are the animals healthy? 4) Does the behaviour of the animals reflect optimised emotional states? All these approaches are promising, but still there is a lot of work to do (Bokma-Bakker et al., 2009). 67
