Welfare assessment in intensive and semi‐intensive dairy cattle management system in Sicily

The present study aimed to compare the welfare of dairy cows kept in two traditional husbandry systems (semi‐intensive and intensive farming) in south‐eastern Sicily. A total of 18 dairy farms (nine semi‐intensive and nine intensive) were evaluated with a multicriteria system adapted for Sicilian co...

description The present study aimed to compare the welfare of dairy cows kept in two traditional husbandry systems (semi‐intensive and intensive farming) in south‐eastern Sicily. A total of 18 dairy farms (nine semi‐intensive and nine intensive) were evaluated with a multicriteria system adapted for Sicilian conditions and obtained simplifying the model of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Values of welfare measures, collected by inspections of the farms (general well‐being indicators, ventilation system, resting areas [cubicles or bedding], flooring, milking parlours and waiting area, manger and watering equipment), and those of health categories (cases of abortions, hypocalcemia, displacement of abomasum, acidosis/ketosis, enteritis, hoof problems, and mastitis) obtained through the farm records, were compared using Mann–Whitney and Chi‐squared tests, respectively. Data showed significant differences (p ≤ .05) about the variables related to welfare categories such as housing ventilation system, resting area, manger, and water equipment that were better in the semi‐intensive system than the intensive system. No significant differences were observed about the variables related to health indicators. The results demonstrated that in Sicily the semi‐intensive farm is better than the intensive to satisfy the conditions of animal welfare.
