“…We are inclined to think of these factors as internal, building up in the absence of dustbathing and being reduced by the act of dustbathing itself. In other words, a Lorenzian hydraulic model (Lorenz, 1950) can serve as a first approximation to a complete motivational model that will also include the effects of rhythmic factors (Schein & Statkiewicz, 1983; Vestergaard, 1982) and stimulus factors.…”

“…In this article we address the issue of the development of control of internal factors. Both internal timing (rhythm) and deprivation factors are known to influence the occurrence of dustbathing in adult hens (Vestergaard, 1982) and adult quail (Borchelt, Eyer, & McHenry, 1973; Schein & Statkiewicz, 1983; Statkiewicz & Schein, 1980). We performed three experiments that were designed to determine when the effects of dust deprivation first appear and whether specific experience is necessary for the motivational factors associated with dust deprivation to gain control of dustbathing.…”

“…In quail, sham dust bathing is performed in cages where litter is not available (Geerken and Petersen, 1992). Furthermore, Schein and Statkiewicz ( 1983 ) found high levels of dust bathing when deprivation of a dust bathing substrate was terminated, indicating the presence of built‐up motivation. In addition, monopolisation of the dust bath by one bird in couple cages, as reported by Miller and Mench ( 2006 ), may indicate that the birds regard it a valuable resource.…”

This Scientific Opinion concerns the welfare of Domestic ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus), Muscovy ducks (Cairina moschata domesticus) and their hybrids (Mule ducks), Domestic geese (Anser anser f. domesticus) and Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) in relation to the rearing of breeders, birds for meat, Muscovy and Mule ducks and Domestic geese for foie gras and layer Japanese quail for egg production. The most common husbandry systems (HSs) in the European Union are described for each animal species and category. The following welfare consequences are described and assessed for each species: restriction of movement, injuries (bone lesions including fractures and dislocations, soft tissue lesions and integument damage and locomotory disorders including lameness), group stress, inability to perform comfort behaviour, inability to perform exploratory or foraging behaviour and inability to express maternal behaviour (related to prelaying and nesting behaviours). Animal-based measures relevant for the assessment of these welfare consequences were identified and described. The relevant hazards leading to the welfare consequences in the different HSs were identified. Specific factors such as space allowance (including minimum enclosure area and height) per bird, group size, floor quality, characteristics of nesting facilities and enrichment provided (including access to water to fulfil biological needs) were assessed in relation to the welfare consequences and, recommendations on how to prevent the welfare consequences were provided in a quantitative or qualitative way.

“…Captive Japanese quail engage in several dust bathing sessions daily when provided with a suitable material such as sand or cat litter (Schein and Statkiewicz, 1983). In the absence of such material, birds may exhibit 'vacuum dust bathing,' during which behavioral components of dust bathing are expressed, e.g., raking movements with the bill, scratching with the legs, tossing dust into the air with the wings while moving the body under the dust shower, accompanied by active feather ruffling and shaking (Mills et al, 1997).…”
