Special thanks to Blake Aldridge and the National Livestock Ethics Council for assisting in the development of this resource guide, coordinating review of this document, and donating training videos and brochures to the collection of the National
Agricultural
Library (NAL). Thanks also to Jeff Goodwin, 4-H and Youth Specialist, at the University of Idaho, for sharing his many resources on livestock ethics. Thank you to Rich Reynnells, National Program Leader, Poultry Science, U.S. Department of
Agriculture,

resources, many of which are cited in this document. Special thanks to D'Anna Jensen for designing the cover and to Barbara Buchanan for assistance in preparing the document for printing.
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.
Inclusion of materials in this guide does not constitute endorsement
