Animal welfare in Norwegian dairy production: a comparison of large and small scale facilities
Absztrakt
This thesis compares large and small-scale facilities through a literature review to better
understand animal welfare in Norwegian dairy production. Concern over the well-being of
dairy cows has grown globally and continues to do so. This review investigates the effects
of various farming methods, farm sizes, and management approaches on dairy cow welfare.
The findings paint a picture of how different factors within herd management impact the
general well-being of dairy cows and the relevant contrasts between large- and small-scale
farms.
