Farm animal health and welfare are important topics amongst global conversations and strategies surrounding food security and sustainability, including the social sustainability of food systems. Animal production systems, especially more intensive systems, are of concern to members of the public in relation to animal health and welfare and the environment. There is a large body of research demonstrating consumer and wider public concern over the welfare of farm animals, with a smaller body of research looking at production diseases in particular. This chapter looks to explore what the public know and think about production diseases. Given the limited research into this topic, the chapter first outlines the broader context of growing consumer concern over food production including animal products, in relation to food safety and farm animal health and welfare, and how concerns are addressed by government and industry. It is within this context that public attitudes towards production diseases are discussed.
