In the 20th century, members of the family Cervidae, in particular the red deer (Cervus elaphus), the fallow deer (Dama dama) and the sika deer (Cervus nippon), became relatively popular farmanimals. Deer farming continues to develop, albeit at different rates, in Europe and worldwide. In deer farms, the fulfillment of the Five Freedoms listed in the Codes of Recommendations for the Welfare of Livestock (FAWC 2014) may involve some what different measures in comparison withother livestock animals due to the specific biological requirements, behavioral patterns and low levels of domestication in cervids. Numerous requirements have to be fulfilled to achieve high levels of welfare in animal farms, including deer farms. They include an adequate diet that meets the animals’ nutritional needs, theuse of appropriate materials and solutions for building farm equipment and devices, selection of adequate personnel and appropriate animal handling procedures. In deer farms, several fundamental conditions have to be met to guarantee minimum welfare levels. Additional requirements that improve the welfare of farmed red deer and fallow deer have been formulated based on many years of observation, experience and scientific research

W XX wieku niektóre gatunki z rodziny jeleniowatych, zwłaszcza jeleń europejski (Cervuselaphus), daniel (Dama dama) i jeleń sika (Cervus nippon), stały się dość popularnymi zwierzętami gospodarskimi. Hodowla jeleniowatych rozwija się, choć w różnym tempie, w Europie i na świecie. W ich utrzymaniu fermowym powinno być spełnionych pięć zaleceń dotyczących wolności, wymienionych w Kodeksie dobrostanu zwierząt gospodarskich (FAWC 2014). Ze względu na specyficzne wymagania biologiczne, brak wzorców zachowań i niski poziom udomowienia jeleniowatych może wiązać się to z zastosowaniem odmiennych wskaźników, w porównaniu z innymi zwierzętami gospodarskimi. Wiele wymagań musi być spełnionych, aby osiągnąć wysoki poziom dobrostanu zwierząt gospodarskich, w tym jeleni. Należą do nich odpowiednia dieta, która zaspokaja potrzeby żywieniowe zwierzęcia, stosowanie odpowiednich materiałów i rozwiązań do budowy sprzętu i urządzeń, wybór odpowiedniego personelu i odpowiednich procedur obsługi zwierząt. W hodowli jeleniowatych musi być spełnionych kilka podstawowych warunków, aby zagwarantować minimalny poziom dobrostanu. W pracy przedstawiono wymagania sformułowane na podstawie wieloletnich obserwacji, doświadczeń i badań naukowych, które po zastosowaniu poprawiają dobrostan hodowanych jeleni i danieli
