Animal welfare refers to how animals adapt to their environment and meet their basic natural needs. It is scientifically proven that animal welfare requirements are met if the animal is healthy, feeling comfortable, well nourished, safe, able to express its nature freely and free from pain, fear and stress. High levels of animal welfare require disease immunization and veterinary treatment, proper housing, management, nutrition, humane treatment and humane slaughter. Animal welfare refers in particular to the living conditions of animals; the treatment of animals is described by other terms such as animal care, husbandry and humane handling.
