Animal welfare
Welfare encompasses the animal’s general physical condition, its mental state, its biological fitness and its ability to cope with adverse environmental conditions.
To ensure optimal welfare of the animals they keep and select is a key consideration for all responsible breeders. Breeders select animals for further reproduction that show good social behaviour in groups, improved welfare, and robustness – which will enable them to adapt to many different environmental and housing conditions. Responsible breeders also maintain a balance with the intrinsic characteristics and behaviours of domesticated species.
