One Welfare in Practice - The Role of the Veterinarian - Grand Format

Animal welfare has long been recognised as central to the role of the veterinary professional, but this role is increasingly aligned with the welfare of humans and the broader environment in which we co-exist. This is the first book dedicated to the role of the veterinarian in One Welfare, a concept that recognises the interconnections between animal welfare, human well-being and the environment. Through a wide range of international case studies, the book demonstrates why professional ethics and the use of good evidence are integral to this role.
Contributors bring a rich variety of writings, each with their own perception of the role of the veterinarian in improving animal welfare and human wellbeing. One Welfare in Practice : The Role of the Veterinarian emphasises the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and solutions : With its multiple, fascinating approaches to One Welfare, this book will inform and inspire the veterinarian to find areas where collaborative action reaps the greatest rewards.
This unique book shows how veterinarians can and are contributing to improving animal and human welfare and the environment and offers practical advice as to how the profession can further engage in One Welfare in a range of settings.
