VETERINARY CARE
- Encompasses medical services provided to animals,
ranging from routine check-ups and vaccinations to
surgeries and specialized treatments for illnesses or
injuries. It’s essential for ensuring the health and well-
being of pets, livestock, and animals.
FACTORY FARMING
- Also known as industrial agriculture, is a method of
mass producing animals for food in confined spaces, often
with intensive use of antibiotics, hormones, and other
chemicals to maximize productivity. Animals are typically
raised in large numbers with little regard for their welfare,
leading to ethical and environmental concerns.
OTHER PRACTICES IN
THE FOOD INDUSTRY:
1. ORGANIC FARMING

- this method emphasizes sustainable


practices, avoids synthetic pesticides and
fertilizers, and priorities animal welfare.
2. FREE-RANGE FARMING

- animals are allowed access to the


outdoors or have more space to roam compared
to conventional factory farming.
3. PASTURE-RAISED

- animals graze on pastureland, which can


enhance their welfare and the nutrition quality
of the meat, eggs, or dairy they produce.
4. SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE

- this involves farming fish, shellfish, and


other aquatic organisms in a manner that
minimizes environmental impact and promotes
responsible resource management.
5. ALTERNATIVE PROTEINS

- technologies such as plant-based meat


substitutes and cultured meat offer alternatives
to traditional animal agriculture, aiming to
address concerns about animal welfare,
environmental sustainability, and public health.
ANIMAL TESTING
- also known as animal experimentation or
vivisection, involves using animals in scientific
research and testing for various purposes,
including biomedical research, drug
development, and product safety assessment.
TYPES OF ANIMAL
TESTING
1. BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH

- animals are used to study disease,


develop treatments, and understand biological
processes. This includes testing new drugs,
surgical techniques, and medical devices.
2. COSMETIC TESTING

- animals are used to assess the safety of


cosmetics, such as makeup, skincare products,
and hair care products. This practice has faced
significant criticism due to ethical concerns.
3. TOXICITY TESTING

- animals are exposed to chemicals to


determine their potential toxicity and adverse
effects on living organisms. This includes testing
for household products, pesticides, and industrial
chemicals.
4. PRODUCT SAFETY
TESTING
- animals may be used to assess the safety
of consumer products, such as cleaning agents,
food additives, and pharmaceuticals.
5. EDUCATION AND TRAINING

- animals are sometimes used in educational setting


to teach students anatomy, physiology, and surgical
techniques. However, alternatives such as computer
simulations and synthetic models are increasingly being
used to reduce reliance on live animals.
