Overview
ISO/TS 34700:2016 - Animal welfare management - General requirements and guidance for organizations in the food supply chain - provides a management framework to implement the animal welfare principles of the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code (OIE TAHC, Section 7). It applies to terrestrial animals bred or kept for food or feed production and is intended to help organizations align their practices and private or public standards with internationally recognized animal welfare requirements.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and exclusions: applies to terrestrial food/feed animals; excludes research/education animals, shelters/zoos, companion, stray/wild, aquatic animals, humane-killing traps for nuisance/fur species, and killing under competent authority for public/animal health.
- Normative reference: the OIE TAHC (especially Article 7.1.4 and species/process-specific chapters).
- Process- and species-specific chapters currently referenced: transport by sea/land/air (Ch. 7.2–7.4), slaughter (Ch. 7.5), beef, broiler chicken and dairy cattle production systems (Ch. 7.9–7.11).
- Animal-based vs resource-based measures: distinguishes outcome-focused animal-based measures (animal responses, records) from resource-based measures (housing, equipment, management).
- Four-step animal welfare plan process:
- Step 1 - Gap analysis: identify differences between current practice and OIE TAHC provisions; select relevant documents.
- Step 2 - Drafting: create an animal welfare plan including policies, thresholds for animal-based measures and record requirements.
- Step 3 - Implementation: put the plan into practice across operations and staff roles.
- Step 4 - Evaluation & review: monitor, evaluate, document results and pursue continual improvement.
- Management principles: senior management commitment, assigned accountability (e.g., welfare manager), continuity of welfare during transfers, documentation and record-keeping.
- Documentation: retain referenced external standards and internal records (evaluations, thresholds, measurement data). Annex A offers guidance on welfare thresholds for animal-based measures (informative).
Applications and who uses it
ISO/TS 34700 is designed for organizations across the food supply chain:
- Primary breeders, livestock farmers, feed producers
- Livestock transport operators and logistics providers
- Slaughterhouses and processing facilities
- Supply‑chain quality, compliance and sustainability teams
- Auditors, certification bodies and animal welfare managers
Practical uses include conducting gap analyses, developing and implementing animal welfare plans, aligning supplier requirements with OIE TAHC, supporting compliance with legislation and private standards, and embedding continual improvement and monitoring programs.

Introduction
There is a growing focus in society on animal welfare. Perception of animal welfare is complex and
multifaceted, being influenced by scientific, ethical, historical, cultural, religious, economic and political
dimensions. When addressing animal welfare, it has to be done in a scientifically credible manner. The
Terrestrial Animal Health Code (TAHC) published by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE)
sets animal welfare standards to be used to establish national regulations and other relevant animal
welfare documents.
Animal welfare management, as described in this document, has been developed to be adapted to
various situations, including:
— different production systems and different organizations in the supply chain for products of animal
origin, regardless of size and country;
— different geographical, cultural and religious contexts; and
— developed as well as developing countries.
The purpose of this document is to ensure the welfare of animals raised for food or feed production
around the world through the following objectives:
— to provide a management tool for the implementation of the animal welfare principles of the OIE
TAHC (Section 7);
— to provide guidance for the implementation of public or private animal welfare standards and
relevant legislation that meet at least the OIE TAHC (Section 7);
— to facilitate the integration of animal welfare principles in business-to-business relations.
The concept of the five freedoms, as mentioned in Chapter 7.1 of the OIE TAHC (freedom from hunger,
thirst and malnutrition; freedom from fear and distress; freedom from physical and thermal discomfort;
freedom from pain, injury and disease; and freedom to express normal patterns of behaviour), provides
guidance on the understanding of animal welfare, on identifying the relevant aspects to be considered
and on implementing relevant practices. The general principles for the welfare of animals in livestock
production systems (Article 7.1.4 of the OIE TAHC) provide a basis for practical requirements to ensure
that the five freedoms are met.
Animal welfare management can be addressed in different ways, such as legislation, codes of good
practice, private specifications or client/supplier requirements.
This document is intended to support the implementation of relevant practices to ensure animal welfare
in livestock production systems.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISO/TS 34700:2016(E)
Animal welfare management — General requirements and
guidance for organizations in the food supply chain
1 Scope

3.1
animal
mammal or bird
[SOURCE: OIE TAHC, modified — bees have been removed as they are not included in the scope of this
document]
3.2
animal-based measure
response of an animal or effect on an animal used to assess its welfare, which can be taken directly on
the animal or indirectly and includes amongst others the use of animal records
Note 1 to entry: It can result from a specific event (e.g. an injury) or be the cumulative outcome of many days,
weeks or months (e.g. body condition).
Note 2 to entry: Animal-based measures are referred to as outcome-based measurables in the OIE TAHC. Outcome-
based measurables involve assessing the degree (incidence, severity and duration) of impaired functioning
associated with injury, disease and malnutrition, or the physiological, behavioural and immunological changes
or effects that animals show in response to various challenges. They provide information on animals’ needs and
affective states such as hunger, thirst, pain and fear, often by measuring the strength of animals’ preferences,
motivations and aversions. These are distinguished from resource-based measures (3.9).
3.3
animal handler
person with knowledge of the behaviour and needs of animals who, with appropriate experience and
a professional and positive response to an animal’s needs, can achieve effective management and
good welfare
[SOURCE: OIE TAHC, modified — the sentence “Competence should be gained through formal training
and/or practical experience.” has been deleted]
3.4
animal welfare
how an animal is coping with the conditions in which it lives
Note 1 to entry: The OIE TAHC defines animal welfare as “how an animal is coping with the conditions in which
it lives. An animal is in a good state of welfare if (as indicated by scientific evidence) it is healthy, comfortable,
well nourished, safe, able to express innate behaviour, and if it is not suffering from unpleasant states such as
pain, fear and distress. Good animal welfare requires disease prevention and veterinary treatment, appropriate
shelter, management, nutrition, humane handling and humane slaughter/killing. Animal welfare refers to the
state of the animal; the treatment that an animal receives is covered by other terms such as animal care, animal
husbandry, and humane treatment”.
[SOURCE: OIE TAHC, modified — a part of the definition has been moved to Note 1 to entry]
3.5
animal welfare management
activities required to ensure animal welfare
Note 1 to entry: This term includes activities involving the animals (the treatment that an animal receives, also
called animal care, animal husbandry and humane treatment in OIE TAHC), activities involving staff, and the
status and use of facilities for this purpose.
3.6
animal welfare plan
document describing the principles, policies and actions necessary for animal welfare management
2 © ISO 2016 – All rights reserved
3.7
competent authority
veterinary authority or other governmental authority of a country having the responsibility and
competence for ensuring or supervising the implementation of animal health and welfare measures,
international veterinary certification and other standards and recommendations in the OIE TAHC
[SOURCE: OIE TAHC, modified]
3.8
organization
person or group of people that has its own functions with responsibilities, authorities and relationships
to achieve its objectives
Note 1 to entry: For the purposes of this document, the term refers to a single business operator or a group
of business operators of the whole or a part of the food supply chain, including primary breeding companies,
animal farmers, livestock transport companies and slaughterhouses. An organization can be public or private
and includes, but is not limited to, sole-trader, company, corporation, firm, enterprise, authority, partnership,
association, charity or institution, or part of combination thereof, whether incorporated or not, public or private.
3.9
resource-based measure
factor or combination of factors that may be linked to a change in the likelihood of good or poor
animal welfare
Note 1 to entry: These factors include resources (e.g. housing, space allowance per animal, handling and restraint
facilities, air temperature and quality, stunning equipment parameters) or management (e.g. personnel, financial,
process).
Note 2 to entry: These are distinguished from animal-based measures (3.2).

3.1
animal
mammal or bird
[SOURCE: OIE TAHC, modified — bees have been removed as they are not included in the scope of this
document]
3.2
animal-based measure
response of an animal or effect on an animal used to assess its welfare, which can be taken directly on
the animal or indirectly and includes amongst others the use of animal records
Note 1 to entry: It can result from a specific event (e.g. an injury) or be the cumulative outcome of many days,
weeks or months (e.g. body condition).
Note 2 to entry: Animal-based measures are referred to as outcome-based measurables in the OIE TAHC. Outcome-
based measurables involve assessing the degree (incidence, severity and duration) of impaired functioning
associated with injury, disease and malnutrition, or the physiological, behavioural and immunological changes
or effects that animals show in response to various challenges. They provide information on animals’ needs and
affective states such as hunger, thirst, pain and fear, often by measuring the strength of animals’ preferences,
motivations and aversions. These are distinguished from resource-based measures (3.9).
3.3
animal handler
person with knowledge of the behaviour and needs of animals who, with appropriate experience and
a professional and positive response to an animal’s needs, can achieve effective management and
good welfare
[SOURCE: OIE TAHC, modified — the sentence “Competence should be gained through formal training
and/or practical experience.” has been deleted]
3.4
animal welfare
how an animal is coping with the conditions in which it lives
Note 1 to entry: The OIE TAHC defines animal welfare as “how an animal is coping with the conditions in which
it lives. An animal is in a good state of welfare if (as indicated by scientific evidence) it is healthy, comfortable,
well nourished, safe, able to express innate behaviour, and if it is not suffering from unpleasant states such as
pain, fear and distress. Good animal welfare requires disease prevention and veterinary treatment, appropriate
shelter, management, nutrition, humane handling and humane slaughter/killing. Animal welfare refers to the
state of the animal; the treatment that an animal receives is covered by other terms such as animal care, animal
husbandry, and humane treatment”.
[SOURCE: OIE TAHC, modified — a part of the definition has been moved to Note 1 to entry]
3.5
animal welfare management
activities required to ensure animal welfare
Note 1 to entry: This term includes activities involving the animals (the treatment that an animal receives, also
called animal care, animal husbandry and humane treatment in OIE TAHC), activities involving staff, and the
status and use of facilities for this purpose.
3.6
animal welfare plan
document describing the principles, policies and actions necessary for animal welfare management

3.7
competent authority
veterinary authority or other governmental authority of a country having the responsibility and
competence for ensuring or supervising the implementation of animal health and welfare measures,
international veterinary certification and other standards and recommendations in the OIE TAHC
[SOURCE: OIE TAHC, modified]
3.8
organization
person or group of people that has its own functions with responsibilities, authorities and relationships
to achieve its objectives
Note 1 to entry: For the purposes of this document, the term refers to a single business operator or a group
of business operators of the whole or a part of the food supply chain, including primary breeding companies,
animal farmers, livestock transport companies and slaughterhouses. An organization can be public or private
and includes, but is not limited to, sole-trader, company, corporation, firm, enterprise, authority, partnership,
association, charity or institution, or part of combination thereof, whether incorporated or not, public or private.
3.9
resource-based measure
factor or combination of factors that may be linked to a change in the likelihood of good or poor
animal welfare
Note 1 to entry: These factors include resources (e.g. housing, space allowance per animal, handling and restraint
facilities, air temperature and quality, stunning equipment parameters) or management (e.g. personnel, financial,
process).
Note 2 to entry: These are distinguished from animal-based measures (3.2).
4 Main principles in developing an animal welfare plan
4.1 The organization developing an animal welfare plan shall ensure the plan:
a) enables the implementation of OIE animal welfare principles and guidelines or other provisions
from private or public standards that meet, at least, the OIE TAHC; the general principles for the
welfare of animals in livestock production systems (Article 7.1.4) and other relevant Section 7
chapters of OIE TAHC provide valuable guidance to develop an animal welfare plan, which complies
with at least the OIE TAHC;
b) ensures a commitment to mai

Introduction
La société s’intéresse de plus en plus au bien-être animal. La perception du bien-être animal est un sujet
complexe et multi-facettes, qui est influencé par les dimensions scientifiques, éthiques, historiques,
culturelles, religieuses, économiques et politiques. Le bien-être animal doit être traité d’une manière
scientifiquement crédible. Le Code sanitaire pour les animaux terrestres (Terrestrial Animal Health
Code, TAHC) publié par l’Organisation mondiale de la santé animale (OIE) établit des normes sur le bien-
être animal qui peuvent être utilisées pour établir les réglementations nationales et d’autres documents
pertinents sur le bien-être animal.
La gestion du bien-être animal, telle que décrite dans le présent document, a été développée en vue
d’être adaptée à diverses situations, parmi lesquelles:
— différents systèmes de production et d’organisations des filières de l’alimentation concernant les
produits d’origine animale, indépendamment de leur taille ou du pays concerné;
— contextes géographiques, culturels et religieux différents; et
— pays développés et en voie de développement.
L’objet du présent document est de garantir le bien-être des animaux élevés pour la production
d’aliments destinés à la consommation humaine ou à l’alimentation animale dans le monde entier, à
travers les objectifs suivants:
— fournir un outil de gestion pour la mise en œuvre des principes de bien-être animal du TAHC de l’OIE
(Section 7);
— définir des orientations pour la mise en œuvre de normes publiques ou privées sur le bien-être
animal et de la législation afférente, respectant au moins le TAHC de l’OIE (Section 7);
— faciliter l’intégration des principes de bien-être animal dans les relations entre entreprises.
Le concept des cinq libertés, tel qu’il est mentionné dans le Chapitre 7.1 du TAHC de l’OIE (être épargné
de la faim, de la soif et de la malnutrition, être épargné de la peur et de la détresse, être épargné de
l’inconfort physique et thermique, être épargné de la douleur, des blessures et des maladies, et être libre
d’exprimer des modes normaux de comportement), offre des orientations pour comprendre le bien-être
animal, identifier les aspects pertinents à prendre en considération et mettre en œuvre les pratiques
adaptées. Les principes généraux de bien-être des animaux dans les systèmes de production animale
(Article 7.1.4 du TAHC de l’OIE) fournissent une base pour définir les exigences pratiques permettant de
s’assurer que les cinq libertés sont respectées.
La gestion du bien-être animal peut être abordée de différentes manières, telles que la législation, les
codes de bonnes pratiques, des spécifications privées ou des exigences client/fournisseur.
Le présent document est destiné à soutenir la mise en œuvre de pratiques adaptées pour assurer le
bien-être animal dans les systèmes de production animale.

alimentaires
1 Domaine d’application
Le présent document fournit des exigences et des orientations pour la mise en œuvre des principes de
bien-être animal décrits dans l’introduction sur les recommandations relatives au bien-être animal du
TAHC de l’OIE (Chapitre 7.1).
Le présent document s’applique aux animaux terrestres élevés ou détenus pour la production d’aliments
destinés à la consommation humaine ou à l’alimentation animale. Les domaines suivants sont exclus:
animaux utilisés pour les activités de recherche et d’enseignement, animaux vivant dans des refuges et
des zoos, animaux de compagnie, animaux errants ou sauvages, animaux aquatiques, mise à mort pour
la santé publique ou pour la santé animale sous la direction de l’autorité compétente, pièges de mise à
mort sans cruauté pour les animaux nuisibles et à fourrure.
L’application du présent document se limite aux aspects pour lesquels il existe des chapitres spécifiques
au processus de manipulation-élevage ou à l’espèce dans le TAHC de l’OIE. Au moment de la publication
du présent document, ces chapitres étaient les suivants:
— Chapitre 7.2: Transport des animaux par voie maritime;
— Chapitre 7.3: Transport des animaux par voie terrestre;
— Chapitre 7.4: Transport des animaux par voie aérienne;
— Chapitre 7.5: Abattage des animaux;
— Chapitre 7.9: Bien-être animal dans les systèmes de production de bovins à viande;
— Chapitre 7.10: Bien-être animal dans les systèmes de production de poulets de chair; et
— Chapitre 7.11: Bien-être animal dans les systèmes de production de bovins laitiers.
Le présent document est conçu pour aider les utilisateurs à réaliser une analyse des écarts et à élaborer
un plan de gestion du bien-être animal en conformité avec le TAHC de l’OIE. Il peut également être
utilisé pour faciliter la mise en œuvre de normes sur le bien-être animal du secteur public ou privé qui

domaine d’application du présent document]
3.2
mesures axées sur les animaux
mesures faites sur l’animal
réponse d’un animal ou effet sur un animal permettant d’évaluer son bien-être; la réponse peut être
observée directement ou indirectement et ceci implique notamment l’utilisation de méthodes de recueil
de données de vie sur l’animal
Note 1 à l’article: Elles peuvent résulter d’un évènement spécifique (par exemple, une blessure) ou d’un effet
cumulé sur plusieurs jours, semaines ou mois (par exemple, l’état corporel).
Note 2 à l’article: Les mesures axées sur les animaux sont désignées comme étant des paramètres mesurables
fondés sur les résultats dans le TAHC de l’OIE. Les paramètres mesurables fondés sur les résultats consistent à
évaluer le degré de perturbation fonctionnelle (incidence, sévérité et durée) imputable aux lésions, aux maladies
et à la malnutrition, ou les modifications ou les effets physiologiques, comportementaux et immunologiques que
présentent les animaux en réponse à différentes sollicitations. Ils fournissent des informations sur les besoins et
les états affectifs des animaux, tels que la faim, la soif, la douleur et la peur, souvent en mesurant l’intensité de
leurs préférences, motivations et aversions. On les distingue des mesures reposant sur les ressources (3.9).
3.3
préposé aux animaux
personne disposant de connaissances sur le comportement et les besoins des animaux, qui, ayant un
comportement professionnel correspondant positivement à ces derniers associé à une expérience
appropriée, peut assurer l’efficacité de leur prise en charge et le respect de leur bien-être
[SOURCE: TAHC de l’OIE, modifiée — la phrase «Ces compétences peuvent avoir été acquises dans
le cadre d’une formation formelle ou de l’expérience pratique, voire dans le cadre des deux» a été
supprimée]
3.4
bien-être animal
manière dont un animal s’adapte aux conditions de vie qui l’entourent
Note 1 à l’article: Le TAHC de l’OIE définit le bien-être animal comme étant «la manière dont un animal évolue
dans les conditions qui l’entourent. Le bien-être d’un animal (évalué selon des bases scientifiques) est considéré
comme satisfaisant si les critères suivants sont réunis: bon état de santé, confort suffisant, bon état nutritionnel,
sécurité, possibilité d’expression du comportement naturel, absence de souffrances telles que douleur, peur ou
détresse. Le bien-être animal requiert les éléments suivants: prévention et traitement approprié des maladies,
protection, soins, alimentation adaptée, manipulations réalisées sans cruauté, abattage ou mise à mort effectuées
dans des conditions décentes. La notion de bien-être animal se réfère à l’état de l’animal; le traitement qu’un
animal reçoit est couvert par d’autres termes tels que soins, conditions d’élevage et bientraitance.»
