Cambridge University (UK) was the first university in the world to appoint a Professor of Animal Welfare: Donald M. Broom, Colleen Macleod Professor of Animal Welfare. Over the years, Professor Broom and his 'Animal Welfare and Human Interactions Group' have carried out extensive research, and in recent years have been in the vanguard of scientific advances which have influenced legislation and practice as well as being of fundamental interest.

In the course of their work, Professor Broom and his colleagues have collected a large selection of scientific reports and references on animal welfare. This collection of animal welfare science resources led to the foundation of the Cambridge University Animal Welfare Information Centre (C.U.A.W.I.C.). The number of scientific reports and/or references will vary according to subject, and in some cases it may be necessary for these to be reviewed by an experienced scientist in order for animal groups to derive maximum benefit.
