Preliminary understanding of animal welfare

Abstract: Safety of animal products is another aspect concerned for animal welfare, but most people ignored or even denied the existent necessity of animal welfare due to onesidedly pursuing the rising of GDP and human wellbeing in the domestic market, which must endanger human health, Animal welfare can improve the quality of animal products and further ensure food safety, and the grassland agricultural system also provided a foundation for the development of animal welfare. The development of animal welfare was influenced by many factors, and there was difference between domestic and foreign about animal welfare research because of the era limitation and synchronism. For this reason, while talking about animal welfare, we should control the degree of this issue according to its actual conditions. Fortunately, we can improve the degree of social recognition of animal welfare, to fully realized animal welfare via forage and livestock coupling, improving the grassland agricultural systems. In a word, there was no time to delay developing legislation about animal welfare in China.
