Animal Welfare
We are pioneers in Portugal in implementing the best animal welfare standards in the livestock industry.
Our commitment in supporting producers, while creating a more humane, ethical and informed society, fuels the passion to promote good practices in animal production
Sharing our experience
We offer customized project implementation services tailored to the specific needs of each farm, including the validation of animal welfare practices of suppliers and distribution chains. We develop comprehensive evaluation frameworks that cover various species, including cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, and poultry, both on farms and in slaughterhouses, ensuring compliance with the highest standards of animal welfare.
We offer excellent theoretical and practical training for technicians and producers in Animal Welfare, with an emphasis on the best practices and standards in the sector. The aim is to equip participants with essential knowledge to promote respect and care for animals. The course will soon be recognized by the General Directorate of Food and Veterinary Medicine (DGAV).
We offer specialized solutions for the preparation and monitoring of Animal Welfare certification for farms and slaughterhouses, covering recognized standards such as Welfair, Filporc, A Greener World, and Global Animal Partnership among others.
We support your application for National Funding, focusing on the Animal Welfare and Rational Use of Antimicrobials schemes (Pedido Único), including guidance throughout the entire process, from the preparation of the proposal to submission and monitoring of the application, ensuring compliance with documentation, and increasing the likelihood of success.

What is Animal Welfare
The Farm Animal Welfare Council (UK) established in 1965 the five fundamental freedoms that must be guaranteed to animals when treated by humans.
- Freedom from hunger and thirst
- Freedom from discomfort
- Freedom from pain, lesion and disease
- Freedom to express natural behaviour
- Freedom from fear and anguish
- Freedom to undergo positive experiences
Through observational methods, monitoring tools, questionnaires, assessment scales and experimental studies, CONCERTA’s team applies recognized scientific principles of animal welfare, providing high-level technical consultancy with solutions adapted to each case and farm.
