Received Date: Mar 03, 2025 / Published Date: Mar 31, 2025
Abstract
This compilation of research investigates the interconnectedness of animal welfare, livestock production efficiency, and disease surveillance within Portuguese agricultural systems. Findings reveal that enhanced welfare practices positively correlate with improved animal health, reduced stress, and increased productivity, contributing to farm profitability. Robust disease surveillance is identified as essential for disease prevention, food safety, and public health. A ’One Health’ perspective is promoted, emphasizing the links between animal, human, and environmental health, particularly concerning antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic diseases. Farmer education and effective welfare legislation are presented as vital tools for advancing animal welfare and disease control, supporting sustainable livestock production.
