MATA, F.. Linking epidemiology, biostatistics and animal welfare science. Rev. vet. [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.2, pp.220-222. ISSN 1669-6840.  http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/vet.3326186.

Different epidemiological techniques and bio-statistical approaches are put into an animal welfare scientific context, in a variety of species and settings, with reference to a variety of studies provided as examples for reference. Epidemiology is especially important in animal welfare science allowing the use of complex settings outside the laboratory environment using models that account for random factors. It is also important in the introduction of standardised techniques allowing evidence synthesis.
