The videos were analyzed regarding risk of injury for the animals, suspected pain, agony breeding characteristics and animal behavior indicating stress. The success of each video was assessed based on views, likes and shares. Stress reactions of the animals were observed in 82% of all videos, while risks of injury were found in 52% of the videos. Pain was assumed in 30% of cases, and 32% of the videos showed pets displaying agony breeding characteristics, such as brachycephaly. A total of 93.8% of all videos achieved the benchmark \"views:account follower (exposure)\" value of 0.14, classifying them as successful videos. This study showed that successful animal videos on social media are often related to poor animal welfare. The study emphasizes the importance of raising awareness among social media users about animal welfare issues and can be the starting point for necessary educational work.","PeriodicalId":56277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144876981","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}

This study explored whether staff and volunteers at an Animal Welfare Organisation have consistent perceptions of the importance of pre-acquisition research and expected care requirements for seven companion animal species. Two hundred and sixty-four staff and volunteers completed an online questionnaire. Comparisons were made between volunteer and staff roles, and those working in direct Pet Services and those in Non-Pet Services departments. The importance of pre-acquisition research was recognized by the majority of participants (> 80%) for all species. Overall, type of role and species had a significant effect on participant willingness to pay initial set up costs and perceived suitability as a pet for children, ease of care and expected time commitment. Department had a significant effect on willingness to pay set up costs. These results suggest that animal welfare organizations should take time to understand the views of their wider teams in relation to the animals that they care for to ensure that effective welfare friendly messaging can be reflected by all areas of the organization.","PeriodicalId":56277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144859890","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 overcome limitations of manual observation and single-frame analysis in captive settings, this study developed the first human-annotated spatiotemporal behavior dataset for this species and proposed YOWOvG, an improved deep learning model integrating the SE attention mechanism and GELAN for enhanced feature extraction. Trained on 69,919 labeled frames across four behaviors (Resting, Socializing, Climbing, Walking), YOWOvG achieved an 85.20% Frame-mAP in video-based recognition. This is a 6.3% improvement over the baseline result while maintaining computational efficiency. The model effectively captured temporal dynamics and spatial contexts, significantly improving recognition of climbing and walking despite data imbalances. The results demonstrate the potential of automated, noninvasive video monitoring to enhance welfare assessment in rescue centers by detecting subtle behavioral changes. Future work will expand behavioral categories, address stereotypic behaviors, and integrate audio cues for holistic monitoring. This approach provides a scalable framework for behavior-informed management of captive wildlife.","PeriodicalId":56277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144786044","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}

Previous studies on wild bottlenose dolphins have raised concerns about exposure to phthalates - synthetic chemicals that can pose health risks. Recent research on wild bottlenose dolphins has reported prevalent exposure to phthalates. The current case study investigated urinary phthalate metabolite concentrations for five adult female common bottlenose dolphins residing at Brookfield Zoo Chicago. Most of the tests performed for specific metabolites did not show detectable concentrations, and metabolite concentrations were generally low when detected. Animal care professionals working at other zoos and aquariums should: 1) investigate phthalate exposure for bottlenose dolphins and other aquatic species, and if necessary, 2) identify sources of phthalate exposure. Furthermore, researchers can conduct experiments to gain insight into how various species process and excrete phthalate metabolites. The ultimate goal is to enhance the welfare of professionally managed animals by reducing exposure to phthalates and to inform our understanding of the metabolic degradation of phthalates.","PeriodicalId":56277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144769421","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}

Most rabbits were dwarf breeds or lop-eared, come from pet stores or as gifts and cared for by women with 58% being sterilized. Most rabbits lived cage-free indoors, primarily consuming hay (75%), with accessible veterinary care. The vaccination rates were higher (81%) than testing for encephalitozoonosis (27.61%) or microchipping (24.72%). The owners also reported nocturnal behavioral patterns (50%). Approximately 65% rabbits cohabitating with others never engage in fights. Additionally, 40% of respondents reported daily lifting of their rabbits, while 39% noted occasional biting incidents. The data indicate that rabbits acquired through purchase or as gifts generally experience a lower quality of life, as do those whose owners do not seek information from veterinarians or rescue organizations. Most rabbit owners were able to pinpoint quality-enhancing activities, and 43% of them noted that the frequency of such activities has decreased. The findings underscore the need for informed, empathetic care to ensure rabbit welfare.","PeriodicalId":56277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144746282","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}

This study examined shelter preferences by testing variables such as material, size, shape, color, height, and tunnel structure. The results revealed distinct behavioral preferences that have significant implications for ecosystem management. Adult frogs demonstrated a preference for shelters made of palm bark, specifically those that were larger, rectangular, brown, and elevated 10 cm above the ground. Juvenile frogs favored even larger, rectangular shelters, preferring those made of ceramic materials and positioned 5 cm above the ground. Both adult and juvenile frogs consistently avoided spherical tunnels, showing a preference for deeper tunnels, which indicates an important aspect of their behavioral ecology. These insights are essential for optimizing the breeding environment of R. dybowskii, potentially improving survival rates, reproduction, and broader conservation efforts. This study establishes a behavioral framework for optimizing captive management protocols of R. dybowskii, providing empirical data to refine anti-predatory adaptations in confinement settings and environmental enrichment strategies in commercial breeding operations.","PeriodicalId":56277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144627861","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}

The pilot study investigated the impact of heat-retentive kid nest (HRKN) on hiding, playing and suckling behaviors of kids born during winter. Twelve newborn kids were divided into two groups along with their respective dams. The HRKN, designed to provide warmer microclimatic conditions, served as ancillary housing for the HRKN group, while the control group was housed intensively without HRKN. Given the lack of independent replicates in each treatment group (n = 1 per treatment), the results are summarized descriptively. The preference of kids for the HRKN was evident early in life, with decreased hiding observed as they matured. As age increased, suckling duration decreased, but HRKN kids had higher summed duration and frequencies of suckling, with less rejection. Additionally, HRKN kids showed increased frequencies of play behaviors including locomotor play, jumping, head pressing, head movement, and mounting. HRKN thus emerged as an effective management tool for pre-weaned suckling goat kids during winter for improving their welfare.","PeriodicalId":56277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144610380","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}
