Introduction

The following resource guide was developed to assist 4-H, Future Farmers of America (FFA), and other youth and college agricultural educators in locating materials to assist in teaching animal welfare and ethics. Emphasis was placed on providing materials that are accessible through land grant universities, the collection of the National Agricultural Library (NAL), or the internet. The materials listed include audiovisuals, books, bibliographies, conference proceedings, journal articles, organizations, and websites. This listing is not comprehensive but is intended to act as a starting point for educators to develop curriculum to meet their own specific needs. Selected resources cover welfare, ethics, behavior, care, and health of livestock and poultry.

NetVet focuses on veterinary resources with links to veterinary education, listservs, organizations, publications, and images. This award-winning site is an excellent starting point for looking for materials for training personnel in care and use of agricultural animals. A useful feature of NetVet is the Electronic Zoo. Among the Electronic Zoo animal group icons are horses, cows, pigs, small ruminants, and birds. Each icon contains a list of websites related to these species. The cow page for example, http://netvet.wustl.edu/cows.htm, includes links to professional associations such as the American Dairy Science Association, trade publications including Hoard's Dairyman, university departments of animal or dairy sciences, and information publications including Information Resources for Mastitis.
