Abstract
It may initially appear that discussions around the concepts of welfare metrics and welfare indicators are abstract and perhaps without tangible benefits. Yet, the truth is, some degree of precision in terminology is required when it comes to assessments of animal welfare. Welfare metrics and welfare indicators are terms often used interchangeably, but they are not equivalent.
