The goals of the COST Action 846 “Measuring and Monitoring Farm Animal Welfare” were formulated to address public concern about farm animal welfare. Consequently, our effort focused on reviewing existing methods of evaluating welfare, identifying new ones, and communicating the results in an understandable fashion. Since the start of the Action, (effectively with the first meeting of the Management Committee on January 23, 2001), other studies have also stressed that European Citizens are becoming increasingly concerned about the way in which animals are treated in the production of animal-based food.
