Abstract: Simple SummaryMany members of the public express a desire for farm animals to have a good quality of life. Yet, when it comes to purchasing higher welfare products which would support this, many consumers do not ‘walk their talk’. This paper introduces the concept of ‘nudging’ as a means to help consumers align their actions with their intentions and support their desire to engage in pro-animal welfare behaviours. ‘Nudging’ is a collection of behaviour change tools designed to hint to, or suggest, a choice mos… Show more

“…The price premium (or higher cost) of higher welfare production is due to the allocation of more space and infrastructure per animal and greater care and stockperson time; production costs that are passed on to the consumer. Recently, Vigors [36], in a review exploring the effect of nudging behaviours to reduce the attitude-behaviour gap for farm animal welfare, noted that the relative price of products, rather than their absolute price influences consumer purchases. So, consumers are affected by how the price of one product compares to the price of another, e.g., the higher price of free-range eggs compared to conventional caged eggs.…”

“…As humans, we are bounded by the limits of our own rationality. This means that our ability to seek out further information in our decision-making is limited by the time afforded to us, and also by our analytic power or ability to process information and choose between options [36,42,43]. Consumers currently face ever-increasing numbers of choices and product differences when selecting animal-based foodstuffs with different labels, such as free-range, cage-free, hormone-free, to name a few [27,44,45,46,47].…”

“…Utilising default options in an animal research laboratory environment might involve providing researchers with already-enriched cages and fixed playpen exercise regimes. Much of the research conducted in the area of behaviour change and animal welfare concerns meat consumption, dietary change and farm animal welfare [44], however there is much potential for the use of behavioural 'nudges' in the field of laboratory animal welfare. Moreover, the Theory of Planned Behaviour Change emerging from psychology [45] states that an individual's behaviour is shaped by their intention.…”
