摘要

当0.1网状长颈鹿(Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata)开始表现出跛行迹象和左前侧关节持续肿胀时,我们为前脚x光片制定了一个基于操作的训练计划,以诊断和更好地管理跛行。使用受保护的接触设置,行为是通过正强化程序形成的。训练一系列提示行为,获得掌背外侧内侧斜前足x线片,帮助兽医诊断跛行原因。通过训练长颈鹿进行足部x光检查,可以识别跛行的潜在原因并进行更好的管理。从长远来看,研究结果可能有助于动物园确定管理和预防长颈鹿跛足的最佳做法,从而改善长颈鹿的福利。训练动物参与自己的医疗护理可以通过给它们一种对情况的控制感来改善它们的福利。与其他方法相比,医疗程序培训有助于减少长颈鹿承受的压力和相关风险。

Training a Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) for Voluntary Foot Radiographs at Dubai Safari Park
When 0.1 Reticulated Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) began displaying signs of lameness and a persistent swelling of the front left pastern joint, an operant based training program was created for front foot radiographs to diagnose and better manage lameness. Using a protected contact set up, behaviour was shaped using a positive reinforcement procedure. A series of cued behaviors were trained and used to obtain dorsolateral palmar medial oblique front foot radiographs to aid vets in diagnosing the cause of lameness. By training giraffes for foot radiographs, potential causes of lameness could be identified and better managed. Long-term, the results may help zoos identify best practices for managing and preventing lameness in giraffe and subsequently improve welfare. Training animals to participate in their own medical care can improve welfare by giving them a sense of control within the situation. Training for medical procedures helps to reduce the stress imposed on the giraffe and the associated risks compared to alternative methods.
