Webinar on welfare of beef cattle

Background

In this webinar, EFSA presented its recently published scientific opinion on the welfare of beef cattle. This opinion provided the most up-to-date scientific research on the effects of housing and management conditions on the welfare of cattle reared for beef.

This work was requested by the European Commission and may serve as a basis for potential future legislation, as currently, there is no EU legislation specifically regulating the housing and management conditions of beef cattle. This scientific opinion is part of a series of mandates focusing on the welfare of farm animals and published in the last three years by EFSA.
