Abstract
Welfare is a concept with an increasing interest in both humans and animals. The human welfare can be understood in three general ways: (1) the individual experiences of happiness; (2) satisfaction of desires; and (3) enjoyment of certain objective goods, such as health, education, personal relationships and recreation. Meanwhile, animal welfare was defined by five major pillars which remark that welfare is achieved when an animal is free of (1) hunger and thirst; (2) discomfort; (3) pain, injury and disease; (4) fear and distress; and is (5) free to express its normal behavior. In this chapter, salivary biomarkers used to evaluate welfare in humans and animals are reviewed being organized in relation with the major system or axis to which these have been associated.
