Records of growth traits 2,086 Romanov lambs were used to estimate variance components for an animal model and genetic correlations between traits. Traits analyzed birth weight (BWT), weaning (WW), 90-d (W90), daily gain the periods (DG1) 90 d (DG2). Weaning was at approximately 40 d. Variance estimated using restricted maximum likelihood with including fixed effects year x season, sex, rearing type, litter size random direct effect (with relative h2), maternal m2), permanent environmental...
AbstractThe conditions under which laying hens are kept remain a major animal welfare concern. It is one of the most intensive forms production and number animals involved very high. Widespread public debate has stimulated call for more friendly, alternative systems to barren conventional cages. Directive 1999/74/EC encouraged technical changes in current systems. Not only have traditional cages been modified (so-called 'enriched cages'), but also new (e.g. aviaries) developed. There an...
The study aim was to identify consumer segmentation based on nonhuman animal welfare (AW) attitudes and their relationship with demographic features willingness pay (WTP) for welfare-friendly products (WFP) in Mexico. Personal interviews were conducted 843 Mexican consumers who stated they purchased most of the home. Respondents selected using a quota sampling method age, gender, education, origin as control variables. multivariate analysis suggested there three clusters or profiles labeled...
The loading and unloading of cattle for road transport is stressful but the stress difficult to evaluate in terms welfare cattle. Over one year, 40 normal commercial journeys northern Spain were analysed time limits behavioural events order design an objective method assessing stresses imposed on animals, a scoring was developed animals during unloading. Several definitions intervals assessed calculate score per animal, easily observable scored combined with obtain total loading/unloading...
This work presents the development of a scale attitudes secondary-school and university students towards animal welfare. A questionnaire was drawn up following Likert-type attitude assessment model. Four components or factors, which globally measure welfare, are proposed to define object attitude. The abuse for pleasure due ignorance (C1), leisure with animals (C2), farm (C3) abandonment (C4). final version contains 29 items that evenly distributed among four indicated, guaranteeing each...
