EPIC test 127
|
bill treatment on day old duckling, IR better than heat sear
|
|
Newton and O’Conner
|
study found no economic benefit of pain management
|
|
motivation
|
process within the brain controlling which behaviours and physiological changes occur and when
|
|
motivation involves
|
goals, actions, behaviour sequences, homeostasis, drive
|
|
motivation highest for
|
important behaviours
|
|
measure motivation with
|
demand experiments
|
|
motivational strength
|
probability of performing a given behaviour and frequency or vigour with which it is performed
|
|
choice tests
|
which of several resources satisfies a particular motivation better
|
|
operant tests
|
do something to get something
|
|
preference tests
|
indicates how badly animals want things when they are available, not how badly they miss them when they are absent, used to quantify motivational strength
|
|
preference text example
|
sows given rubber mats in stalls spend more time in stalls
|
|
inferring welfare from preference tests
|
must establish how strongly animal prefers/avoids options, is motivated to perform a prevented behaviour
|
|
assessing strength of preferences
|
will learn to perform task if highly motivated
|
|
economic analysis
|
inelastic (necessities) vs. elastic (luxuries)
|
|
economic models manipulate
|
limiting available time, obstructive techniques, operant conditioning, aversion testing
|
|
limiting available time
|
will drop luxuries as time decreases (hens feed instead of spend time with litter)
|
|
obstructive techniques
|
increase cost, can be limited by physical ability (weighted door)
|
|
operant conditioning
|
increase cost
|
|
demand curves
|
as cost increases elastic drops off, inelastic maintained
|
|
sow housing
|
found all enrichments had low motivation
|
|
measuring aversion
|
measure motivational strength to avoid stimulus (ex: electroimmobolization in sheep)
|
|
aversive handling in dairy cows
|
decreases milk production, tail twist < hit < shout/electric prod
