Environmental Enrichment for Captive Animals / UFAW Animal Welfare (ePub)

Environmental enrichment is a simple and effective means of
improving animal welfare in any species - companion, farm,
laboratory and zoo. For many years, it has been a popular area of
research, and has attracted the attention and concerns of animal
keepers and carers, animal industry professionals, academics,
students and pet owners all over the world.





This book is the first to integrate scientific knowledge and
principles to show how environmental enrichment can be used on
different types of animal. Filling a major gap, it considers the
history of animal keeping, legal issues and ethics, right through
to a detailed exploration of whether environmental enrichment
actually works, the methods involved, and how to design and manage
programmes.
