National Primary Industries Animal Welfare R, D & E Strategy

  Welcome 

The National Primary Industries Animal Welfare Research, Development and Extension Strategy (NAWRDES) encourages greater co-investment and collaboration on a National basis to improve the efficient use of RD&E resources in the field of livestock animal welfare.

Priorities in Animal Welfare Research 

We work with Australia's livestock sectors to determine priority areas for cross-sectoral animal welfare RD&E.  This approach delivers economies of scale and a more efficient use of research capability.
Our activities are guided by 6 RD&E Themes:
  1. Animal Welfare Assessment 
  2. Pain Assessment & Management 
  3. Management, Housing & Husbandry 
  4. Transport, Euthanasia & Slaughter Impacts
  5. Attitudinal Effects on the Welfare of Livestock throughout the Value Chain
  6. Education, Training & Extension

Maintaining Animal Welfare Research Capability

A key component of the Strategy is to maintain Australia's capability in the field of Animal Welfare RD&E. We do this by identifying gaps in capability and working together to address the need. 

Inclusive ​Discussion

The Strategy hosts an annual Forum which brings together Australia's providers of Animal Welfare RD&E along with industry funders, animal welfare groups and Government representatives. 

Communication of ​​Outcomes

The Strategy aims to provide regular updates on commissioned RD&E projects along with project reports. These outputs can be found on this site.
