This conflict is increasingly gaining attention not only by producers, animal scientists, and veterinarians, but also by the public. It creates significant future challenges, which are described and addressed in this book. The main topics covered are: \u003c\/div\u003e•\tthe use of antimicrobials with emphasis on security and safety for producers\/consumers\u003cdiv\u003e•\tthe impact of locomotion disorders on performance and welfare of farm animals \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e•\tthe interactions of gut microbiome, genetics, climate change, metabolic status and mineral homeostasis with reproduction, performance, animal health and welfare\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e•\tinfectious and respiratory diseases\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e•\tthe raising of neonates\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eA special section is devoted to behavioural signs indicating an impaired animal welfare.
