The classical concept of animal welfare merely that animals were physically healthy, well fed and free from physical attacks from the environment, receiving the consideration of "the three freedoms". The new concept of animal welfare is based on the ability of animals to adapt successfully to a given and realize their potential physiological and behavioral environment. Therefore, the first three freedoms widely animal accepted two new, those set as freedom to express natural behavior of the species, and that the animals are free from fear or stress were added.
