Animal lives worth living
The main theme of this year’s congress is 'Animal lives worth living'. This theme focuses on our responsibility for all animals kept or influenced by humans, to ensure that we can provide a life for them that takes into account all relevant aspects of animal welfare, aided by applied ethology as the key scientific discipline. This not only means avoiding and alleviating suffering but also promoting resilience and positive experiences. By monitoring and interpreting animal behaviour, we gain important insights into each of these aspects of quality of life.
Proceedings of the 51st Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology
Understanding animal behaviour is the overall theme of this 51st Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology and the red thread through the chosen scientific topics. Understanding animal behaviour is essential in order to improve the interaction between animals and the environments in which they are kept and to improve animal welfare. The abstracts in this proceedings book give an overview of the scientific topics discussed at the conference. The world of animals: senses and perception Human-animal interactions Animal learning and cognition Animal stress responses Social behaviour of animals Applying ethology in the keeping of animals Animal affective states Maternal and neonatal behaviour
Nordic Animal Law
Animal Law is a subject which is growing rapidly. The world faces severe threats in the forms of climate crisis, biodiversity losses, pandemics, and zoonosis, and ethical considerations in relation to law and the protection of sentient beings other than humans, is of pressing importance. Animal law draws on multidisciplinary perspectives. The legal system within the Nordic countries, and the law regarding animals, provides significant and well-developed precedents and ideas which are valuable to researchers and legislators worldwide. This is the first book to closely examine the similarities and differences in the legal thinking and reality in across the Nordic countries, in relation to animals. The book is a unique and valuable a reference textbook for legal scholars, judges, animal protection authorities, lawyers, and others students and researchers interested in the topic. The book also includes a chapter on future prospects about the protection of animals from negative human impact and de lege ferenda (a basis for future law) arguments.
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on the Assessment of Animal Welfare at the Farm and Group Level
This book contains the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on the Assessment of Animal Welfare at the Farm and Group Level, held September 5-8, 2017 in Wageningen, the Netherlands.
Proceedings of the 50th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology
This book contains the abstracts of the presentations presented at the 50th annual meeting of the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE), held in Edinburgh, UK. The enduring aim of the ISAE is to encourage and support basic and applied research into the behaviour of animals as related to their use by humans. Ever since a small group of veterinarians first met in Edinburgh to form the Society of Veterinary Ethology (SVE), inspirational ethologists and veterinarians have helped shape the field of Applied Ethology. Scientists such as Niko Tinbergen, Karl Von Frisch and Konrad Lorenz, joint awardees of the 1973 Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine, have played an important part in helping to develop this subject. The 2016 ISAE conference will bring together applied ethologists from all over the world to share new discoveries and to discuss ways forward, under the general conference theme of 'Past and Future: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants'.
Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on the Assessment of Animal Welfare at the Farm and Group Level
This book contains the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on the Assessment of Animal Welfare at the Farm and Group Level, held August 16-19, 2021 in Cork, Ireland.
Proceedings of the 48th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology
The aim is not only to bring the most recent advances in applied animal behaviour and animal welfare, but also raise awareness of new interdisciplinary approaches, ideas and tools that would allow us to further advance in the study of animal behaviour and welfare. The scientific program ‘MOVING ON’ covers a great variety of traditional, but also many non-traditional topics such as: movement and space use, modelling and social networking, precision/smart farming, from pain to positive emotions, clinical behavioural problems, welfare in wildlife, neurobiology of behaviour and welfare, and behaviour and reproduction.
Tail biting in pigs
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the issue of tail biting in pigs, one of the most significant welfare and economic problems in the pig industry. With contributions from renowned experts in their fields, it is an essential resource for both scientists, and industry stakeholders. Key topics include the evolutionary roots of the disorder, internal and external risk factors, methods that can be used to address the issue, including human behavioural change, and the wider economic, and ethical considerations. Finally, evidence is provided as to how an intact tail can be used as an ice-berg indicator for overall pig welfare.
Pigs Welfare in Practice
A concise practical handbook on high welfare standards in pig farming for people who work directly with animals. The aim is to improve animal health and farm profitability through introducing good husbandry practices and finding low cost solutions to improve welfare for the animals. Aimed at farmers, stockmen, food industry personnel and agricultural students, the book explains why welfare is important for the animal and the farm, what good welfare looks like, how to measure welfare in practice using assessment tools, and practical advice for improving welfare for pigs. 5m Books
Animal-centric Care and Management
The concept of the 3Rs (Refinement, Reduction and Replacement) has been used as a framework for improving the welfare of laboratory animals for the last half century. By establishing an animal-centric view on housing and management, Animal-centric Care and Management: Enhancing Refinement in Biomedical Research takes Russell and Burch’s definition of Refinement as "elimination of inhumanities" and goes further. Rather than fitting animals into experimental conditions, it encourages readers to adjust conditions to better meet the behavioral, emotional, physical, and physiological needs and preferences of the animals. The team of expert authors, from the fields of laboratory animal science, ...
