The welfare of captive primates is commonly measured by the expression of species-typical behaviors; and more recently by analyzing space use. Here, we present data from a study on preferential space use for three adult orangutans housed at Auckland Zoo. One of the zoo's main goals, with the recent introduction of an overhead line pathway, was to encourage arboreal movement and to increase time spent off the ground. Findings from this study show significant departure from expected values for use of both location and height. Most notably, all individuals used the overhead pathway within values expected by chance, but there was significant variation in location use within the enclosure. Residuals indicate that each orangutan has personal preference for different areas and height ranges of their enclosure, which is supported by behavioral observations. Enclosure use is heavily influenced by individual preferences, physical capabilities, and husbandry practices.","PeriodicalId":56277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144057730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, consideration of environmental, social, and economic factors is required. Since those factors can be analyzed holistically with GIS; this study employs GIS methodologies to ascertain the optimal locations for establishing animal shelters in the Karşıyaka district of İzmir. Criteria related to factors such as human health and animal welfare are determined based on environmental sustainability. Each criterion is converted into a suitability map using ArcGIS Pro. Fuzzy SWARA and Fuzzy GRA methods are used for criteria weighting and area ranking. As a result, the \"Yamanlar\" option was determined as the most suitable area. Thus, GIS-based integrated fuzzy-based methods have shown objective, reliable and less uncertain results in area selection. Findings provide guidance for local governments and policy makers in determining and prioritizing criteria to be considered in the shelter area selection. The methodological approach proposed can be applied to different regions and similar problems, and it can contribute to the development of efficient and humane policies to improve animal welfare.","PeriodicalId":56277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144036398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, animals are often neglected in such situations. In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey targeting evacuation shelters in the urban cities of Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe. We aimed to investigate shelters' decisions to accept pets during a disaster, the factors that determine their decision, and if they accept pets, how they would accommodate them. Among the 205 respondents, most (51.7%) were undecided on whether they would accept pets. Our results suggested that concern for lack of space was the most important factor and that shelters with space concerns were 4.9 times more likely to reject pets compared to those with other concerns. Experience in sheltering evacuees during past disasters was partially important for decision-making. Furthermore, most shelters that accommodate pets typically would either keep them outside the facility or indoors in separate areas away from their owners. We propose that shelters treat pets and their owners based on the One Welfare approach, which promotes the idea that protecting animals would protect humans.","PeriodicalId":56277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144054158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increasing the stocking density had no effect on feed consumption while it negatively affected egg production. Higher stocking density had a negative effect on the feather condition score which is similar to those for egg production. A parallel decrease in feed consumption and egg production was observed with the temperature increases according to the summer months.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of species-relevant auditory stimuli on stress in cats exposed to a novel environment. During the 28-day experiment periods, 20 cats received four types of sound treatments which included silence (T1), purr of cats (T2), eating sound in cats (T3), and the mixed sound of T2 and T3 (T4) in a novel environment in random orders with intervals of 1 week between treatments. Cats' behaviors were recorded during each 10-min test. Results showed that T4 reduced visual scanning (P = 0.017) without significantly affecting other behaviors, compared with other treatments. Together, the two types of cat-specific sounds did not exert pronounced effects of relieving stress on cats exposed to a novel environment.","PeriodicalId":56277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science","volume":" ","pages":"318-327"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41141974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results of these tests inform whether the future use of Lithuanian native horses in hippotherapy can ensure their welfare. In total, 32 horses were evaluated. Twenty-nine of the evaluated horses were horses of the Žemaitukas breed that had never been used for hippotherapy, the others were hippotherapy horses representing different breeds, which were considered the control group. As expected, control hippotherapy horses scored better in many tests, thus confirming the suitability of these tests for the evaluation of horses for hippotrapeutic use. Žemaitukas breed horses scored an average of 15.9% less points for the test of temperament and 21.3% less points for \"Hippo-test\" compared with the hippotherapy horses.

No significant difference in serum corticosterone concentration (CORT) was found between the catching methods (p = 0.9).

Manually caught birds had 19% greater risk of bruised wings (p < 0.05) and 23% greater risk of bruised legs (p < 0.05).

This study examined the Quality of Life (QoL) of PTSD-assistance dogs' handlers in Austria and Germany using a qualitative online questionnaire based on the Capability Approach. To correspondingly explore whether the involved assistance dogs experience distress triggered by their daily schedules, we measured their salivary cortisol values. These were compared to the cortisol levels of companion dogs without special tasks, as well as diabetic-signal dogs that have a similar workload. Our results showed that people suffering from PTSD-symptoms can improve their QoL with the aid of their assistance dog. However, being accompanied by an assistance dog creates new social barriers. Surprisingly, we found significantly lower salivary cortisol levels in PTSD-assistance dogs compared to the control groups.
