Abstract: | Environments lacking complexity can decrease exploratory behaviour and adaptation to fearful experiences. We investigated the effects of increased environment complexity on fear responses of broiler chickens. Day-old mixed-sex ROSS 308 broilers (n=108) were randomly allocated to either a control ( C), physical environmental complexity (P) or human contact (H) group. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ISAE 2015: 49th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology, Sapporo, Japan, 14th - 17th September, 2015 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the 49th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology, p. 209-209 | Publisher: | Wageningen Academic Publishers | Place of Publication: | Wageningen, Netherlands | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300306 Animal welfare | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 109902 Animal welfare | HERDC Category Description: | E3 Extract of Scholarly Conference Publication |
