9 principles to follow during veterinary practice
do we consider one species more than another
species considered
The 5 freedoms
- freedom from hunger and thirst
- freedom from discomfort
- freedoms from pain, injury and diseas
- freedom to express normal behavior
- freedom from dear and distress
The 5 domains
nutrition
environment
health
behavior
mental state
Three orientations
mind
body
nature
The three R’s
reduce
replace
refine
Brambell committee was appointed by the minister of agriculture, fisheries and food and Secretary of State examined
conditions in which livestock are kept under systems of intensive husbandry and welfare
bramble started the framework of the 5 freedoms based on the ability of the animal to
stand
lie down
turn around
groom themselves
stretch their limbs
committee created in response to Brambells 5 freedoms
Farm animal welfare advisory committee
farm animal welfare advisories name was changed in 1979 to
farm animal welfare council
initial five freedoms were categorized alongside previsions in
1993
pitfalls of the 5 freedoms
focuses on mere satisfaction of achieving relief from suffering
weak attention on metal health
general to all animals and not specific
Applications of welfare assessment in the 5 freedoms
AVMA
veterinarians
WOAH
David Mellor and Dr. Cam Reid reformulated the 5 freedoms to include?
physical and functional factors
mental state
welfare compromise
the framework of the 5 domains looks at
the positive and negative values
Examples of Applications in Animal welfare assessments of the 5 domains
make sure less native species are not harmed
hunt for invasive pest
The three circle model consist of
basic health and functioning
affective states
natural living
the three circle model was made in
1997
the three circles model addresses both
objective science
subjective human values
the three circles model helps individuals
understand their own bias
basic health and functioning of the three circles model
physical fitness
good health
normal growth and development
ex. calves welfare is good because it appears healthy
natural living of the three circles model
lead reasonably natural lives
ex. calves welfare is bad because it cannot preform natural behaviors
affective states of the three circles model
good mentality without subject to extreme stress
ex. calves aggravated because it can not suck, but it can adapt to its new environment because it does need to suck
Three R’s created by what two English biologist
Russell and burch
Russell and Burch created the 3 R’s which explains
the principle of humane experimental technique
provides a framework for performing more humane research
replacement of the 3 R’s
methods to avoid using animals
partial replacement of the 3 R’s
animal tissue/cells are still required. animals are not exposed to distress
absolute replacement of the 3 R’s
animals are not required in any stage of the research
reduction of the 3 R’s
maximizing the information obtained from a given number of animals
examples of reduction of the 3 R’s
animals serving as their own control
telemetry - implant check stats
sharing data
imagining technologies
refinement of the 3 R’s
modification of husbandry or experimental procedures to enhance animals well-being and minimize or eliminate pain and distress
identify all possible courses of action
establish interest of affected parties
identify ethical issues involved
establish legal position of the dilemma
choose a course of action
minimize the impact of the decision
the Ethical Matrix
what matters is relative cost and benefit to us alone. treating animals well can serve us alone
Contractarian
sentience is morally relevant so cost and benefits to people and animals must be weighed up. greatest good for the greatest number overall
utilitarian
consequences for species not individuals
respect for nature
ethical theories: deontological (obligation)
rights and relational
there are certain things that are forbidden and some that are required no matter the consequences
rights of obligation ethical theories
animals subject of a life confers the right to direct own lives and not be killed or used as means to an end
relational ethical theories of obligation
mutually beneficial relationship. animals depend on their food and we depend on their product
define contractarianism
we may have indirect ethical obligations towards animals, because they can matter to other animals
define Utilitarianism
we must consider welfare consequences as well as benefits to humans
define relational
focuses on the way in which our treatment of animals might affect our treatment of humans
animal rights in ethical theories
place a limit on treatment. there are some things we are not allowed to do
respect for nature in ethical theories
we have the duty to protect not just individual animals, but the species to which they belong
the problem of the animal welfare act of 1966
people would steal pets and sell them to research labs
the solution to animal welfare act
people who buy, sell , and breed animals must have a license and follow animal care laws
research animals must be registered and acquired from approved sources
Animal welfare act and regulation controls
dogs
cats
non-primate
transport of animals
purchase and sell of animals through breeders
exhibition of animals
veterinary care
record keeping
research registration requirements
Animal welfare act and regulation does not control
lab rats and mice
cold blooded vertebrates
the research facility must
be register to regulate animals
have animal care and use committee

Maine passed what law for animals
companion animals custody law
eliminating bad genes or selecting for good genes
improvement of genetics
traditional methods to avoid bad genes
avoid breeding animals with bad genetics
traditional methods of genetic selection
data from the animal breeds
phenotype
newer methods of genetic selection
BLUP - best linear unbiased prediction
SNPs - single nucleotide polymorphism
BLUP model is described as
utilizing phenotypic data from animals to be bred and relatives
SNPs model is described as
identify superior and inferior genes using molecular techniques to aid in the selection process
gene insertion Bt corn
insert gene from Bt bacteria that codes for toxin that can impact insects
gene deletion
Ex. PRRS virus
delete genes that code for the cell receptors that enables the virus to attack
examples of gene deletion
CRISPR 9 screening
how has increased production been accompanied
genetic selection programs
more output per animal unit
feed conversion ratio
more weight per animal at slaughter
cost per cow

breeding extremes can cause what problems in French bulldogs for example

affects a large number of animals
potenital to cause negative impact on future
several adverse feelings
effects can be long duration
Ocular morphology is an example of
breed standard in pugs
Breed standard in pugs
