Objetiva-se na revisao apresentar uma definicao de bem-estar animal atendendo os criterios mencionados, associada a uma explicacao sobre a avaliacao do bem-estar animal. Espera-se oferecer ao leitor uma base para o entendimento desta nova ciencia, indispensavel aos profissionais cujo trabalho gira em torno da interacao entre seres humanos e animais. Animal welfare: concept and related issues – Review Abstract Welfare is a word widely used by public in many situations and its meaning is often not precise. However, an objective definition is needed if the concept is to be used scientifically and professionally. Moreover, welfare has to be defined in such a way that it can be readily related to other concepts such as: needs, freedoms, happiness, coping, control, predictability, feelings, suffering, pain, anxiety, fear, boredom, stress and health. This review presents a definition of animal welfare which satisfies these criteria, as well as explaining how to assess welfare. Its main objective is to offer the reader a basis for an understanding of this new science, which is essential to those whose work centres on the human-animal interaction.
