By Irene Camerlink

Bridging Research Disciplines to Advance Animal Welfare Science: A Practical Guide PDF. In recent years there has been a huge rise in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in animal sciences which has accelerated improvements in animal welfare.

Down to earth and practical, this book gives guidance on how cross-disciplinary research can advance animal welfare. With numerous examples and case studies, the text explains:

· the different concepts regarding cross-disciplinary research
· how to set up cross-disciplinary research projects
· how to work in cross functional teams and models for effective team working
· how different fields can impact animal welfare, including social sciences, neurosciences, genetics, behavioural ecology and technology.

The aim of the Bridging Research Disciplines to Advance Animal Welfare Science: A Practical Guide book is to help researchers and graduate animal science students to understand how to advance animal welfare through the integration of disciplines.
