Bibliometric review reveals the rising significance of one welfare themes in animal management and human-animal interaction, suggesting a need for educational reforms.
Key Points
Animal management emerged as the dominant theme, linking its significance to food security and highlighting ten key subcategories across the literature.
Around 78 publications were released after 2018, reflecting a growing interest in one welfare and its interdisciplinary framework, especially in animal management.
The study utilized a bibliometric review based on various databases, categorizing literature into four main domains and several subcategories from 2013 to 2024.
Educational gaps in the one welfare framework indicate a pressing need for improved integration into veterinary and animal science curriculums.
