A minority of people will choose to purchase products from animals kept at a very high level of welfare most people will purchase products from animals kept under normal conditions and it is conceivable that only a few people would if they were allowed purchase products from animals kept under very poor welfare assuming that there is a direct relationship between welfare level and cost of production Fig. 6.1 . The shape of this curve will differ between animal products and populations. If the majority of the population are of the opinion that animals should not be kept in systems where the welfare is very poor then this practice is usually prohibited by law Fig. 6.2 .

Hence the welfare of livestock exported from Australia to developing countries is scrutinized closely by the welfare .
