possibilities of increasing welfare in captive cheetahs through hunting enrichment
… capturing, killing and processing of the prey. Since hunting behaviour is a natural behaviour often deprived from the animals in captivity I looked at possibilities of enrichments to stimulate this behaviour. Feasible enrichments could be feeding of carcasses or bones, live bait …
That animals should be able to express their natural behaviours, even in captivity, has become a more important issue lately. Nowadays Zoos work much more with educating people and helping conservation projects for endangered species. This is two important reasons for making the …
… a compromise between cat and owner and inhibits the expressions of the cat's natural and normal behaviour. The cat owners may misunderstand their cats behaviour, for example the cat owners believe that their cats perform certain behaviours because of feelings of guilt, hate …
… inhabiting forests with dense vegetation and as such hard to observe in its natural habitat. The principal aim of this study was to scrutinize whether the methods, previously used in a behavioural study of the blue monkey (Cercopithecus mitis) can be applied in studies of the …
… The altered slopes could even have a negative influence on the animals? natural lying behaviour. The latter is not acceptable. The aim of this study was to examine how an altered longitudinal slope in cubicles, from about 2 % to about 7 %, influences the diagonal lying positions …
… housing of farmed mink provides little opportunities for them to behave naturally and abnormal behaviours such as stereotypic behaviour and tail biting may occur. To prevent abnormal behaviours animals in captivity are often provided with different kinds of enrichments. The aim …
… and after a threat where noted. The literature study included the horse’s natural behaviour, the consequences of stress and insufficient rest for the pregnant mare and her foetus. Additionally, design of lying hall in a loose housing system has been studied. The results clearly …

… were most frequent to give suck. Beside our behaviour study we review the natural relationship between mare and her offspring, natural weaning and the suckingbehaviour in foals. Suckling is an important factor for the foals´ social and emotional welfare. When human wean foals at …
… of the horse prevents the horse from performing behaviours that they have natural needs to perform. It is not unusual that animals that can not adapt to their environment develop abnormal behaviours. Many of our stabled horses therefore develop some kind of stereotypic …
Warthogs live under natural conditions in matriarchal groups, bachelor groups and yearling groups. Just like all pig species do warthogs have a complex behaviour repertoire. The semi-wild warthog population at Kichwa Tembo Lodge, outside Masai Mara National Reserve, lives in a …
… differently shows that studying risk effects in this manner outside under natural conditions is possible but requires detailed knowledge of species behaviour to be able to tailor experiments exactly right to detect these effects.
… to study, it is thus difficult to determine which behaviors can be regarded as natural and thus positively related, acordingly the welfare of cattle have been forgotten and research on positive emotions of cattle have not been prioritized. The aim of this study was to observe …
… in reintroductions. In zoos enrichments are used to provide animals with natural environments and possibilities to perform natural behaviours. But in order to keep natural behaviours that could be advantageous in future reintroductions, specific anti-predator behaviour programs …
