World Vitals / Livestock scale and welfare indicators

Animal Welfare

Map slaughter, production systems, and welfare-linked animal agriculture indicators.

What this page shows

Animal welfare data needs careful attribution because production totals, welfare standards, and impact estimates come from different source classes.

The primary charts now come from normalized database observations. Snapshot cards remain useful for latest values, but time series and paired relationships get chart types that match the question.

Database charts

Animal Welfare over time and in context

These charts use normalized observations from the World Vitals database. Time-series charts show change; scatter plots show paired relationships where the data actually supports comparison.

Basic drinking-water access has improved

Basic access and safely managed access need to be charted separately because they answer different questions.

Basic sanitation has improved but remains incomplete

Sanitation charts should sit beside water charts, not be hidden inside a generic basic-needs score.
