福利是多层面的，包括健康、舒适、行为表现等，因此，对福利的整体评估需要多方面的标准。这套标准应是详尽无遗的（没有遗漏的项目）、最低限度的（只有必要的项目）、利益攸关方同意的、清晰易读的（有限数量的标准）。此外，对一项标准的解释不应取决于另一项标准。我们提出了一套12个子标准分为四个标准：喂养，住房，健康和优化的情绪状态。这项工作将有助于制定用于农场的措施，以形成动物福利全面评估的欧洲标准。
Welfare is multidimensional, comprising good health, comfort, expression of behaviour, and so on. Its overall assessment therefore requires a multicriteria evaluation. The set of criteria shall be exhaustive (no missing item), minimal (only necessary items), agreed by stakeholders, and legible (a limited number of criteria). Furthermore, the interpretation from one criterion shall not depend on that from another. We propose a set of 12 subcriteria grouped into four criteria: feeding, housing, health and optimised emotional states. This work will assist in developing measures to be used on-farm to form a European standard for overall assessment of animal welfare.
