Title: | Can sheep alleviate pain through free choice of medicated feed? | Contributor(s): | Marini, Danila (author) ; Lee, Caroline (supervisor); Hinch, Geoffrey (supervisor) ; Colditz, Ian (supervisor); Petherick, Carol (supervisor) | Conferred Date: | 2017 | Copyright Date: | 2016 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/22447 | Abstract: | The focus of this thesis was to look at alternative pain-relief options for sheep with the possibility of an easy application method by providing analgesics in feed. Furthermore, if sheep can be taught to self-select and self-administer feed containing analgesics, it can provide insight into animal pain states. In order to understand why medicating livestock for pain is important, Chapter 1 provides an introduction into pain in livestock and its impact on their welfare. | Publication Type: | Thesis Doctoral | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070203 Animal Management 070207 Humane Animal Treatment |
