Stereotypic oral behaviour in captive ungulates: foraging, diet and gastrointestinal function. (2006, background): “…beliefs – though ill founded (McGreevy et al., 1995c) and based solely on correlations (e.g. Archer et al., 2004; Hillyer et al., 2002; Traub-Dargatz et al., 2001) – that they cause colic; and overall, they can reduce a horse’s commercial value (McBride and Long, 2001; Mills and McDonnell, 2005).”
Assessing equine emotional state (2018, background): “…bias testing has been used to determine whether animals are in a positive (optimistic) or negative (pessimistic) frame of mind (Mendl et al., 2009), with environmental conditions being found to affect judgement bias in some species, including the rat (Brydges et al., 2011; Burman et al., 2009).”
