Livestock

Our livestock qualifications have a strong emphasis on animal welfare and incorporate the “Five Freedoms” as defined by the Farm Animal Welfare Council where appropriate. The ‘Five Freedoms’ define ideal states, but provide a comprehensive framework for animal welfare . They are: • Freedom from fear and distress • Freedom from pain, injury and disease • Freedom from hunger and thirst • Freedom from discomfort • Freedom to express normal behaviour We offer a range of qualifications covering legislative and non legislative requirements to meet the needs of good livestock husbandry.
