Watching the behaviur and bdy language f z animals culd be the key t understanding and imprving their welfare, new research suggests. Traditinally, zs have fcused n mre straightfrward measures such as whether animals are eating and sleeping.

An animal’s psitining f its bdy, facial mvements and activity levels are amng the things that might tell whether it is excited, calm, interested, nervus, relaxed, etc.

“We’re lking at hw much time they spend explring their habitat, which culd shw what they’re feeling.” he said. “When they’re unsure, they appear t mve less and be mre careful, and draw their feathers (羽毛) clse t their bdies.”
The study suggests research pprtunities fr Qualitative Behaviural Assessment and practices that culd be used by zs. “Animal welfare in zs has imprved greatly in the last 10 r 20 years, and this methd gives zs anther way t recgnise and imprve the welfare f animals,” Dr. Rse said.
