Abstract

Abstract: Farm animal welfare is a significant way to ensure the sustainable development of modern animal husbandry. Scientific and operable evaluation methods are effective means to improve animal welfare. However, the classic ‘Five Freedoms’ have been shown to be disadvantageous in term of ‘freedom from’ being easily misunderstood as ‘complete liberation’ and ignores positive emotional experiences. To make up for the above shortcomings, the Five Domains Model based on the Five Freedoms focuses on animal emotions and constantly absorbs the latest research progress of animal welfare science to identify the areas of welfare compromise and welfare enhancement, which applies to the evaluation and improvement of conscious animals welfare. However, it is still impossible to evaluate the impact of some welfare on animal emotions from the animal perspective. This paper therefore, discusses the development and improvement of the Five Domains Model and its application in farm animal welfare assessment, with the view of providing a reference for the comprehensive scientific assessment of farm animal welfare in China.

Key words: animal welfare, the Five Domains Model, welfare compromise, welfare enhancement, qualitative grading
