This deliverable combines a list of welfare indicators and methods of assessment relative to on-farm rabbits’ welfare. As no specific European legislation is yet available, the legal requirements of the directive 98/58/EC that apply to rabbits are identified and allocated to four welfare principles: Good Feeding, Good Housing, Good Health and Appropriate Behaviour. Welfare indicators and their methods of assessment are developed following a review of the existing scientific literature, and the checklist and guidelines used by official inspectors in Member States.Â
