Agricultural shows present farm livestock at its best and boost public awareness of farming and conservation.

Since 2012, 萝莉视频鈥檚 Ethics and Welfare Group has had concerns about the welfare of animals at livestock shows and questionable practices used to enhance certain features of animals, particularly cattle.听

听worked with 萝莉视频 to produce this welfare plan for show organisers, including vets, that ensures a consistent approach to animal welfare during the pre-show planning stage. The plan which has been sent to all livestock show organisers.

Role of veterinary surgeons

Veterinary surgeons are responsible for helping to prevent the spread of infectious disease at livestock shows.

Depending on the size of a show, a named vet should work with show organisers to ensure that appropriate animal health and biosecurity measures are in place. Vets also often check the welfare of animals at the show, though there are currently no substantial or specific requirements at shows in terms of animal welfare, aside from the general provisions in the Animal Welfare Acts.
