dc.description.abstract	Meeting the societal aspirations about animal welfare is essential to prioritize the welfare issues. The objective of this study was to identify and prioritize welfare issues of broiler production as perceived by broiler farmers, academics and general public. Administrating a questionnaire, information was collected (n=50; stratified random sampling for each category). Fifty welfare issues were classified under 5 domains; feed/water (FW), housing condition/stocking density (HCSD), natural behaviour/animal health (NBH), suffering/stress (SUS) and transportation. Respondents were requested to rank the importance of each issue to improve broiler welfare on a 5-point Likert Scale.	en_US
