Abstract:Observation and behavioral analysis of animals can be one of the factors taken into consideration when assessing the welfare of animals kept in artificially created breeding conditions. Disturbed welfare and prolonged exposure to stress can lead to the emergence of abnormal behaviors, including reproductive issues. The aim of this study was to examine the mating behavior of male American mink, with regard to the duration of mating and any potential differences with regard to time of day, mating period, number … Show more
“…The importance of circadian and circannual rhythms also emerges in the article by Seremak and colleagues [12], who studied the effect of day length and season on mating behaviour in farmed mink. Their study shows the wealth of wild behaviour that is still present in captive mink, and sheds light on the extent to which artificially created breeding conditions infringe on this.…”
In the scientific domain, women have historically demonstrated their dedication, intellect, and innovative input in relation to animal behaviour and welfare [...]
