PhD project: Integrated approach to the evaluation of the welfare and management in the equine meat farm

Intensive farming is used to rear equines for meat production. As a consequence of the lack of scientific research and few attempts at the European Union level, their welfare is poorly understood. The Welfare Quality® approach is applied to equines according to the AWIN protocol, which is based on the four principles including, among the others, the “Good feeding” principle and its criteria. However, other indicators are necessary for equine welfare. Equines are grazing herbivores, adapted to eating a forage-based diet. Accordingly, due to demands placed on equines for productive performance, they receive high concentrate diets. Scientific researches underline the adverse effects of high concentrate diets and pose a limit in starch consumption to avoid gastrointestinal disorders and behavioural consequences. A high-starch diet leads to changes in the gastrointestinal environment, which may threaten gut health. It is suggested that anything which affects gut health may influence the animal as a whole. Consequently, it is necessary to apply an integrated approach that studies different factors, which may play a crucial role for the animal welfare and the “Good feeding” principle, in order to improve management practices at farming level.
