Abstract
Animal welfare refers to the ethical and practical responsibility humans have to provide for animals^ well-being. It includes protecting animals from unnecessary suffering, providing veterinary care, and ensuring that animals can express natural behaviors including food and shelter. Animals in agricultural settings, proper welfare practices contribute to better health, which in turn leads to better productivity. Stress and poor living conditions can lead to health issues, reduced lifespan, and, in some cases, the spread of disease. Administration plays very important role in taking care of these animals. The administration makes laws and rules to ensure the health, safety and welfare of animals and it is the duty of the administration to implement them and create awareness. From the present investigation it is concluded that making laws and rules is very important to prevent cruelty to animals and for their welfare. Strict implementation of laws and strict action is necessary in case of their violation. It is equally important to explain to the people the importance of animal welfare, as well as to inform them about their rights and to tell them the importance of nature conservation. The administration is responsible for the implementation of the Animals. Cases of cruelty are investigated through the Police and the Forest Department. Animal Welfare Boards are institutional mechanisms that work for the health, protection and welfare of livestock. The boards take care of the health of livestock. It includes vaccination, prevention and health check-ups.
