Animal play and animal welfare (2011, background): “supply, environmental complexity and perceived security (Bolhuis et al. 2005; Chaloupková et al. 2007).”
Automated video analysis of pig activity at pen level highly correlates to human observations of behavioural activities (2014, background): “Commonly, ethological studies in pigs used 2 to 5-min intervals between scans for investigating active behaviours of amongst others explorative, manipulative and social behaviours at group level (Bench and Gonyou, 2007; Bolhuis et al., 2005; Guy et al., 2002; Temple et al., 2011).”
A review of behavioural methods to study emotion and mood in pigs, Sus scrofa (2014, background): “, 1988), and object play include waving/tossing of the head, scampering, jumping, hopping, pawing, pivots, flops, gambolling and shaking or carrying an object (Bolhuis et al., 2005; Chan et al., 2011a,b; Dudink et al., 2006; Newberry et al., 1988; O’Connor et al., 2010).”
The potential of the human-animal relationship as an environmental enrichment for the welfare of zoo-housed animals. (2011, background): “Braastad, 1998). Hemsworth et al. (1990) found that there was a moderate degree of heritability of the trait ‘fear of humans’ in gilts, when measuring the time taken for the animal to physically interact with the experimenter.”
Effects of environmental enrichment and loose housing of lactating sows on piglet behaviour before and after weaning (2011, background): “Providing substrate results in less damaging behaviours later in life as it provides pigs with material to perform certain behaviours on that might otherwise be performed on pen mates, such as chewing on tails and ears (Bolhuis et al., 2005).”
The influence of neonatal environment on piglet play behaviour and post-weaning social and cognitive development (2015, methodology): “Previous research supports these findings by demonstrating that piglets reared in more complex (enriched) environments perform more play and exploratory behaviours, being generally more active than piglets reared in less complex (non-enriched) environments (Bolhuis et al., 2005; Chaloupková et al., ”
Environmental enrichment induces optimistic cognitive bias in rats (2011, background): “Other studies employing proper replication have shown positive welfare benefits of environmental enrichment in farmed pigs (e.g. Beattie et al., 2000; Bolhuis et al., 2005; Scott et al., 2007).”
