INFLUÊNCIA DA AMBIÊNCIA E DO BEM-ESTAR NA PRODUÇÃO ANIMAL: UMA REVISÃO

Abstract

In view of Brazil's important and growing role in supplying animal protein, production efficiency linked to animal welfare has increasingly gained ground, as the consumer market is more demanding and concerned with the quality of products purchased, considering hygiene , health, safety and ethical and environmental issues. Traditional management practices and techniques that cause pain, suffering and stress to animals need to be reviewed and modified, as well as the development and application of laws and regulations to guide sustainable and ethical animal production. The objective of this study was to present, through a literature review, the influence of ambience and well-being on animal production, whose methodology involved research and selection of publications on the scientific platforms "Google Scholar", "Scielo" and "Portal de Periódicos of Capes" with criteria based on relevance and timeliness. The concept of well-being, legislation, its importance for Brazil and the world, the concept of ambience, the influence of ambience on creations, as well as well-being and product quality were discussed. The influence of environment and well-being on animal production is undeniable, whether positively or negatively. Knowledge and application of animal welfare not only reduces animal suffering, but also contributes to obtaining a high-quality product, be it milk, meat, eggs or improving animal performance. Changes from a traditional animal production system to a system that must link well-being to productivity are challenging, but necessary.
