The effects of high and low rates of food reinforcement on the behaviour of pigs (1996)
Journal Article
Young, R., & Lawrence, A. (1996). The effects of high and low rates of food reinforcement on the behaviour of pigs. Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 49(4), 365-374. https://doi.org/10.1016/0168-1591%2896%2901052-0

The expression of one behaviour by an animal limits the amount of time available to express other behaviours. In this experiment the amount of time animals had to forage was manipulated by decreasing the rate of food reinforcement available from a fo...

Members of the cat family are highly motivated to hunt, but in captivity are unable to do so for a variety of reasons. This inability to hunt may reduce their welfare. In this study we used a moving bait to stimulate and release hunting motivation in... Read More about The effect of a moving bait on the behaviour of captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus).

Horses that are stabled under confined conditions may develop stereotypies (e.g. stall-walking), which may be caused by the inability of horses to express foraging behaviour. The objective of this study was to determine whether horses will use a fora...
