Farm Animal Health and Well-Being Paper
Now Available

AWI's Farm Animal Economic Advisor Marlene Halverson wrote a Technical Working Paper (TWP) on Farm Animal Health and Well-Being for the State of Minnesota. She prepared her paper in consultation with seven international animal welfare scientists, and it is part of Minnesota's Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) on animal agriculture. The State had contracted with a number of technical consultants including Marlene to prepare TWPs to bring together the latest scientific information and recommend ways to make animal agriculture more responsive to public concerns.

This 325 page paper, which was described in a veterinary newsletter as a "substantive" critique, is available on Minnesota's website at http://www.mnplan.state.mn.us/eqb/geis/TWP_AnimalHealth.pdf

A limited number of compact disc copies are also available upon request from the Animal Welfare Institute for $10 to cover CD production, postage, and handling.
