Farm

98% of Scotland’s land mass is rural, meaning there’s farms across large parts of the country. On these farms, we expect hundreds of thousands of animals such as cattle, poultry, pigs and sheep to be kept to the highest possible welfare standards. As well as inspecting farms, we work with farmers who may be struggling to help them cope. This section outlines what considerations and steps we expect anyone caring for farm animals to take to ensure their welfare.
