Farm-animal welfare-assessment models
offered by Farm Animal Assessment Associates
+ are designed to be used as practical tools by responsible animal agriculturists and to be acceptable by diverse stakeholder constituencies
+ are based on scientific evidence and evolve through a process that is transparent, inclusive of and open to all available input, and practical-solution-oriented
+ reflect a utilitarian approach--scientifically informed estimates of costs and benefits of husbandry practices to animals and to people alike are taken into account
+ are, insofar as possible, value-neutral, and designed especially so they can be customized to meet users’ respective needs in terms of specific values
+ recognize that isolated observations made during audits need to be considered in light of current farm situations and actions taken to prevent or rectify on-going issues
