The development of animal welfare in China was lagging behind that in western developed countries in many aspects such as people’s attitude toward animal welfare, legislation, scientific research, education and production practices, which were related to the development level of livestock husbandry and also to national conditions related at present in China. In recent years, with consumers’ attention to quality and safety of livestock products, the government, academia and enterprises have begun to value animal welfare in livestock breeding. The healthy breeding guided by the concept of animal welfare would develop rapidly and the sound welfare labeling mechanism and legal norms would be established to guide people to pay close attention to animal welfare.
