Provision of additional walls in the resting area-The effects on resting behaviour and social interactions in goats
چکیده انگلیسی
Except from the PER treatment (P < 0.05), the goats were resting more frequently against walls in pens with any additional walls than in the control pen. The additional walls did not have any significant effects on the goats total resting time, synchronization of resting, time spent resting in the activity area or resting in body contact. Furthermore, additional walls in the resting area had no significant effects on the goats' social interactions. In conclusion, the goats' preference to rest against a wall was better met in pens with addition walls compared to in the control pen (CON), but the design of the additional walls needs further investigation in order to optimize the goats' use of the resting area.
