“…The difficulty of publishing negative or neutral research is widely known and recognised [ 51 , 52 ]. Other studies also showed the success of the EE technique for animals kept under human care in improving animal welfare by reducing the stress they are exposed to [ 53 , 54 ]. These results may indicate the real efficiency of EE in improving animal welfare or the lack of publications on the negative or neutral effects of this technique.…”

(1) Background: Environmental enrichment (EE) is a management principle aimed at meeting the needs of animals under human care by identifying and providing essential environmental stimuli to contribute to the integrity of their psychological and physiological well-being. Studies on EE have been carried out worldwide, but consolidated information on how it has been used, who it has been used for, how it has been evaluated, and what gaps still exist in the subject is scarce in the scientific literature. This study assessed, employing a systematic review, the global scenario of research into EE in animals kept under human care over the last 17 years, answering the above-mentioned questions. (2) Methods: A search for EE papers was carried out in the Web of Science and Scopus databases from January 2005 to December 2021, resulting in 2002 articles from which information was extracted. (3) Results: Results showed an increase in the number of articles published on EE, especially in farms, but studies in laboratory environments continue to be more frequent. Mammals and birds are the most studied animal groups. Cognitive enrichment is the least utilised by researchers. The number of publications by researchers from countries in the southern hemisphere is low. (4) Conclusions: Although the technique of EE is being widely used, it is still focused on certain groups of animals in certain captive environments and carried out mainly in the northern hemisphere of the planet. Therefore, the gaps pointed out here need to be filled by future studies.

“…Além disso, o uso de estratégias de entretenimento, a partir do uso de brincadeiras ou propostas cognitivas de maior complexidade, também favorece a adequação do ambiente de cativeiro, proporcionando o bem-estar dos animais (15) . O enriquecimento ambiental, área do comportamento animal reconhecida por Yerkes e Hedinger na primeira metade do século XIX, estuda a importância do ambiente físico e social para o bem-estar de animais cativos ao fornecer artifícios que permitem que estes expressem o comportamento natural da espécie (16)(17)(18) . Essa técnica consiste em incorporar elementos ao cativeiro que possam reproduzir o habitat natural da espécie, possibilitando que os animais exerçam atividades comuns da vida livre, como locomoção, forrageamento, construção de abrigos, entre outros.…”

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os efeitos do enriquecimento ambiental alimentar no comportamento dos gambás-de-orelha-preta que se encontravam em cativeiro no Centro de Triagem de Animais Silvestres (CETAS), no município Serra, no estado do Espírito Santo (ES), de agosto a outubro de 2022. Dois modelos alimentares foram construídos para o estudo: os “Tubos Surpresa” e o “Quebra-Cabeça Alimentar”. Foram selecionados 24 gambás-de-orelha-preta, independente do sexo, juvenis, divididos em oito grupos, com três animais cada, sendo quatro grupos expostos a um modelo e quatro ao outro. Cada grupo foi submetido a duas condições: experimental, com a presença do modelo e controle, sem a presença do modelo. Cada condição durou 24 horas e ocorreram em dois dias consecutivos. Foram filmadas com câmera trap, resultando em 3233 vídeos, de 25 segundos cada. Para elaboração do etograma foram selecionados 24 vídeos de cada grupo, gravados entre as 18h00 e 19h30hs, período em que os animais se mostraram mais ativos. Os gambás interagiram com os dois modelos, acessando e comendo os alimentos escondidos, havendo preferência pela carne em comparação com a fruta. Não houve diferença significativa no comportamento dos gambás em relação aos modelos e observou-se que o comportamento agressivo diminuiu significativamente quando os modelos estavam presentes. Conclui-se que os modelos podem ser utilizados como enriquecimento ambiental para os gambás-de-orelha-preta, trazendo benefícios para a diminuição do comportamento agressivo.

“…Environmental enrichment, a field of animal behavior recognized by Yerkes and Hedinger in the first half of the 19 th century, studies the importance of the physical and social environment for the welfare of captive animals by providing elements that allow them to express the natural behavior of the species (16)(17)(18) . This technique consists of incorporating elements into captivity that can reproduce the natural habitat of the species, allowing the animals to exercise common activities of the wild, such as locomotion, foraging, and sheltering, among others.…”

This study aimed to analyze the efects of environmental dietary enrichment on the behavior of black-eared opossums that were in captivity at Centro de Triagem de Animais Silvestres (CETAS-ES), in the municipality of Serra-ES, from August to October 2022. Two food models were constructed for the study: the “Surprise Tubes” and the “Food Puzzle”. A total of 24 juvenile black-eared opossums were selected, regardless of sex, and divided into eight groups, with three animals each. Then, four groups were exposed to one model and four to the other. Each group was submitted to two conditions: experimental, with the presence of the models, and control, without the presence of the models. Each condition lasted 24 hours and occurred on two consecutive days. They were flmed with a camera trap, resulting in 3,233 videos of 25 seconds. For the elaboration of the ethogram, 24 videos of each group were selected, recorded from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, when the animals were more active. The opossums interacted with both models, accessing, and eating the hidden food, preferring meat over fruit. No signifcant diferences were found in the behavior of opossums in relation to the models and it was observed that the aggressive behavior signifcantly decreased when the models were present. It is concluded that the models can be used as an environmental enrichment for black-eared-opossums, bringing benefts to the reduction of aggressive behavior.
