Animals’ experienceModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

ResponsesPhysiological responsesMany are not visibleMany are non-specific and do notindicate if the experience is positiveor negativeBehavioural responses(Olsson et al., 2011)Easy to observeMore complex level of functioning thanphysiological responses - how animalschange and control their environmentMore specific measure of emotional stateand experienceModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014.

Behaviour and welfare 1Welfare includes physical functioning,feelings, and the performanceof important behavioursVets already use behaviour (‘clinical signs’)Behaviour can be used to assesseach of these areasTo identify and treat negative feelings(eg pain, nausea)To diagnose disrupted physicalfunctioning (disease)Module 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Behaviour and welfare 2Why vets haven’t considered the performanceof important behavioursAnimals may function well even when they cannotperform those behavioursOwners are not aware of them and do not askThis is changing as public concern for animals grows,and research tells us moreModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014.

Three areas when consideringanimal welfareMentalPhysicalAspects ofNaturalnessAfter Appleby, M. C. (1999) and Fraser et al. (1997)Module 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Behavioural repertoire 1Repertoire in the wild e.g.Reproductive behaviours: courtship, mating, parturient, maternalFeeding behaviours: seeking and consuming foodTime budgetHow animals allocate their time to different behavioursModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Behavioural repertoire 2Domestic sows(Stolba & Wood-Gush, 1989)Captive animals do not need to performthe full repertoire(Mason & Burn, 2011)Many behaviours in the wild areresponses to adverse conditionsbut are not otherwise necessaryModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Behaviour and motivation 1Motivation urge to perform behaviour(Hurnik et al., 1995)Results from brain’s evaluation of sensory stimulithat may be internal or externalSome behaviours motivated internally, others externally,others a mixtureModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Behaviour and motivation 2Behaviour motivated by internal cues is generallyrelated to an animal’s physical state(Nicol, 2011)Motivation can be to feed, to drink, to groom,to rest, etc.Motivation increases if the behaviour is not performedSuch behaviours must be permitted(eg calves and sucking; de Passillé & Rushen, 2006)Module 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Behaviour and motivation 3External cues,Eg Sight of predatorSmell of foodExternal and internal cuesSocial behaviour, e.g. playConflicting motivationsModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014.

Behaviour and motivation 4Importance of understanding motivationEg fighting vs. playingEg aggressionAffects handlingAdvice to ownersModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Central role of brainEvaluation of sensory inputEmotions, motivation, learning, expectations, anticipationCognition: brain’s capacity to perceive, process and store informationEg sheep: spatial memory of grazing, expectations(Nicol, 2011)Module 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Emotion and cognition 1(Mendl et al., 2009, 2010a)Cognitive bias: influence of emotionon judgment, memory, etc.People in a negative emotional statefocus on negative memories and makemore negative judgments than peoplein a positive emotional stateModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Emotion and cognition 2Cognitive bias in dogs(Mendl et al., 2010b)24 shelter dogsTested for separation-related behaviourDogs who showed more separation-relatedbehaviour also showed pessimistic-like behaviourwith regard to finding foodModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Emotion and motivation 1(Keeling et al., 2011)Negative emotions - pain, fear frustrationMotivate relevant behaviours that meet an immediate needEg INJURY: injurypainguarding behaviour to protect the injured areaEg SEEING A PREDATOR: predatorfearrunning awaysurvivalModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Emotion and motivation 2(Keeling et al., 2011)Positive emotions, eg pleasure, excitementMotivate behaviour that is not needed urgently,for survival, but brings a long-term benefitE.g. PLAY: playpleasureplay againlearn social and prey-catching skillsModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Genetics and motivationGenetics(Jensen et al., 2008)EgGene mapping: behavioural differences are associatedwith differences in chromosomal regionsFeather-pecking in poultry: lines with lower tendencyto peck had higher egg productionTemperament in cattle: docility in the milking parlourModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Examples of other factorsaffecting motivationStress responseEnvironment, Eg SubstrateDiseaseModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Summary so farHow to know if performing a particular behaviour is important to animalsBehavioural repertoireMotivationInfluence of emotionsNEXT: measures of behavioural priorityExamples of important behavioursModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Measures of behavioural priority 1(Nicol, 2011)Animal works hard for the opportunityor resources to perform the behaviourEg hens and nest boxesHeifers and resting (13 hours)Animal develops substitute/abnormal behavioursif he or she cannot perform a desired behaviour,Eg Calves cross-sucking (de Passillé & Rushen, 2006)Behaviours indicating frustration - if space/housing permitsModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Substitute or abnormal behavioursStereotypiesrepetitive behaviours, unchanging pattern,serve no obvious purposeRedirected behavioursnot abnormal but directed to an abnormal substrate,eg calves cross-sucking other calvesModule 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014. Unless stated otherwise, image credits are World Animal Protection.

Examples of important behaviours“Behavioural needs” (Widowski, 2010)Animals suffer if deprived of the opportunityto perform themExamplesLaying hens: nesting in a secluded place (Nicol, 2011)Pigs: rooting (Nicol, 2011)Calves: sucking (de Passillé & Rushen, 2006)Polar bears: walking long distances (Clubb & Mason, 2003)Hamsters: burrowing (Hauzenberger et al., 2006)Module 3: Behaviour and Animal Welfare Concepts in Animal Welfare World Animal Protection 2014.

Health-seeking behaviour practice is recognised as an essential tool to prevent the menace of hypertension. The association among health and human behaviour is a major area of interest in public health. Kasl and Cobb 1966 identified three types of health behaviour: preventive health behaviour, illness behaviour, and sick-role behaviour.

out that behaviour comes about from an interaction of ‘capability’ to perform the behaviour and ‘opportunity’ and ‘motivation’ to carry out the behaviour. New behaviour or behaviour change requires a change in one or more of these. As COM-B is an overarching framework of behaviour, it can supplement the CBT model in PWP
