welfare using scientific reasoning. Justify your
\nchoices by referring to the scientific literature, <\/span><\/div>\n
including the Code of Practice. You will need well-
\ndescribed and supported comparisons in <\/span><\/div>\n
each area (good housing, good feeding, good health and
\nappropriate behaviour) for full marks. Conclude by indicating which farm provides better overall welfare
\nfor the broiler breeder hens <\/span><\/div>\n

Tips for writing a comparison<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/div>\n
To write a good comparison, you must critically compare the two presented farm scenarios <\/span><\/div>\n
and discuss
\ntheir differences to determine how animal welfare could be influenced. Use <\/div>\n
relevant literature to support
\nyour arguments (in your own words). Structure your paper <\/div>\n
logically using parallel construction and
\nappropriate transitions to link ideas. In a good <\/div>\n
comparison, your conclusion will follow logically from the
\ncomparisons made in the main body of the paper<\/div>\n
Below are some websites with further tips for writing a comparison: <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
How to reference<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n
In-text citations provide the author surname and publication year in parentheses. <\/div>\n
\u2022 In the list of references, references are ordered alphabetically by surname. If two or more <\/div>\n
references are by the same authors, they are sorted by publication year.
\nScientific writing is <\/div>\n
written in the past tense and rarely includes direct quotations. For your reports avoid
\ndirect <\/div>\n
quotes but instead paraphrase\u2014put the ideas into your own words. Only use a direct quotation if
\nthe specific phrase is essential to the report. Consider this quote: \u201cThere is no form of prose <\/div>\n
more difficult
\nto understand and more tedious to read than the average scientific paper\u201d (Crick, 1995). Unless one was
\nwriting a biography of Sir Francis Crick, that sequence of words is not <\/div>\n
essential in order to convey the
\nidea. It could be paraphrased as follows: Crick (1995) noted that many scientific papers were overly
\ncomplex and tiresome to read.
<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n
An in-text citation <\/div>\n
– requires both the author(s) and the year of publication be placed within
\nparentheses. <\/div>\n
\u2022 The initials of the author names and the title of the publication are not included. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 The citation is placed either after the relevant phrase in the sentence:
\no Example 1: Increased <\/span><\/div>\n
dietary starch content reduced enteric methane production of dairy
\ncattle (Jayasundara et al. 2016).<\/span><\/div>\n
 \u2022 or at the front of several sentences discussing a particular paper:
\no Example 2: Jayasundara <\/span><\/div>\n
et al. (2016) reviewed various strategies to reduce enteric
\nmethane production from dairy cows. They performed meta-analyses of various research
\nstudies on the topic. They found that <\/span><\/div>\n
replacing barley or alfalfa silage with corn silage
\nhaving higher starch content increased milk <\/span><\/div>\n
production and decreased enteric methane
\nper unit of milk by 6%.<\/span><\/div>\n
 \u2022 If the author\u2019s name forms part of the sentence, such as Example 2, then place the publication
\nyear in brackets immediately after the surname. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 If there are two or more articles that have the same in-text citation, then append a <\/span><\/div>\n
distinguishing
\nlower case letter (a, b, c, etc.) to the year given in both the in-text citation and the reference list<\/span><\/div>\n
