2 Modelling of animal welfare The development of a decision support system to assess the welfare status of pregnant sows animal certified f w el a e r Policy/law Market Marc B. M. Bracke Responsible management of pig tails From tail biting to a curly tail for pigs Animal welfare Assessment domain Semantic modelling is formalised welfare assessment (1) What does the system look like? Various tables in a relational database The core-model is a list of attributes/assessment_criteria Output: welfare scores on a scale, e.g. from 0 to 10 Examples include SOWEL, FOWEL, PIGTAIL, RICHPIG, COWEL How does it generate an overall welfare score? Step-by-step explicit and formalised reasoning from facts to score Semantic modelling is formalised welfare assessment (2) How is the system developed? Specify the conceptual framework for scientific welfare assessment Define concepts, assessment principles, classes and procedures Select calculation rules Collect and analyse scientific information Describe (benchmark) treatments Upgrade the model: run and debug Validate the model
3 Definitions related to welfare assessment Norms versus ethics Animal welfare definitions (Fraser et al., 1997) Feelings (Dawkins; Duncan); Quality of life as perceived by the animal itself (Bracke et al., 1999a); Subjective experience of mental and physical state (Braastad et al., 2005) Biological functioning, e.g. Ability to cope (Broom, 1987) Natural living Other: Harmony (Van Putten; Lorz); 5 Freedoms (FAWC, 1992); Principles (Welfare Quality) Assessment domain: Assessment versus improvement strategies Only farming systems versus wider range System level versus individual animal level Here-and-now versus over whole lifespan Attributes are animal- and envir-based Conceptual framework Animal Welfare Environment (Welfare)Performance (Behaviour and (patho-)physiology) Bracke and Hopster 2006 JAGE 19: Anonymous 2001 JAAWS 4: 3-52 Some further conceptual specifications System: hardware software; social environment Design versus performance Environment-based versus animal based Behaviour versus physiology versus health Assessment - diagnosis treatment 1 (Farmer) versus SWIM 2 (Vet), 3 (Scientist) Bracke, 2008, Animal Welfare 17:
