PLoS ONE, 2021 Considering animal welfare, animals should be kept in animal-appropriate and stress-free housing conditions in all circumstances. To assure such conditions, not only basic needs must be met, but also possibilities must be provided that allow animals in ...

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 2023 SUMMARY: The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of 2 interventions (i.e., 2 treatments across 2 independent experiments, each with its own control) that were thought to reduce fractures and stress-related responses (e.g., changes in cloacal ...

Analysis of social interactions in group-housed animals using dyadic linear models [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Understanding factors affecting social interactions among animals is important for applied animal behavior research. Thus, there is a need to elicit statistical models to analyze data collected from pairwise behavioral interactions. In this study, we propose treating social interaction data as dyadic observations and propose a statistical model for ...

Goats (Capra hircus) From Different Selection Lines Differ in Their Behavioural Flexibility
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Given that domestication provided animals with more stable environmental conditions, artificial selection by humans has likely affected animals' ability to learn novel contingencies and their ability to adapt to changing environments.

FaceDiffuser: Speech-Driven 3D Facial Animation Synthesis Using Diffusion [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Speech-driven 3D facial animation synthesis has been a challenging task both in industry and research. Recent methods mostly focus on deterministic deep learning methods meaning that given a speech input, the output is always the same. However, in reality, the non-verbal facial cues that reside throughout the face are non-deterministic in nature.

Goats work for food in a contrafreeloading task
Scientific Reports, 2020 Contrafreeloading (CFL) is the phenomenon when animals work for a resource although an identical resource is available for free. Possible explanations for CFL are that animals seek context for species-specific behaviours or to control their environments.

Vortex-induced vibrations: a soft coral feeding strategy? [PDF]
, 2020 Soft corals, such as the bipinnate sea plume Antillogorgia bipinnata, are colony building animals that feed by catching food particles brought by currents. Because of their flexible skeleton, they bend and sway back and forth with the wave swell. In addition to this low-frequency sway of the whole colony, branches of A.

Early Onset of Laying and Bumblefoot Favor Keel Bone Fractures
Animals, 2015 Numerous studies have demonstrated influences of hybrid, feed, and housing on prevalence of keel bone fractures, but influences of behavior and production on an individual level are less known.
