Preview: “Domestic donkeys descended from wild asses, adapted to the semi-arid climates of Africa, whereas domestic horses originate from more temperate areas of Eurasia. Despite this difference in evolutionary history, modern domestic equids can be found throughout the world, in a wide range of conditions, many of which are very different from their natural environments. [This study aims to explore] the protection from the elements that different equid species may require in the temperate climate of the UK.”

Preview: “The recognition of pain in equine practice is highly dependent on the assessors’ reliability in using pain assessment tools. The Horse Grimace Scale (HGS) is one such tool, a facial-expression-based pain coding system able to identify a range of acute painful conditions in horses. This study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of a standardised HGS training program at improving the agreement of assessors without horse experience by comparison with an expert.“

Preview: “Oral stereotypies are often performed by cattle as a behavioral coping mechanism. Non-nutritive oral behaviors in cattle may be caused by limited access to roughage. Non-nutritive oral behaviors may be a behavioral signal of a welfare concern in cattle, but may also be a useful behavioral proxy for rumen status.”

Preview: “Identifying and preventing the occurrence of separation-related problems (SRP) in companion animals are relevant to animal welfare and the quality of human-pet interactions. The SRP are defined as a set of behaviors and physiological signs displayed by the animal when separated from its attachment person. In cats, SRP has been insufficiently studied. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop a questionnaire for cat owners which identifies behaviors that may indicate SRP, as well as relates the occurrence of SRP to the management practices applied in the sampled cats.”
