改善环境有助猪情绪平和

       CANADA - Research has shown the use of environmental enrichments can be highly effective in promoting calm in the swine barn, writes Bruce Cochrane. Under Canada's revised Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Pigs, those who raise pigs are required to provide multiple forms of environmental enrichment. Dr Yolande Seddon, a research scientist in ethology with the Prairie Swine Centre, told those attending the centre's Manitoba Spring Producer meetings this week, placing novel items in the pen for the pigs to investigate can be extremely beneficial.

　　加拿大——研究表明环境的改善不仅可以高效促进猪在圈里情绪平和，布鲁斯·科克伦写道。在加拿大的猪护理行为规范的修订中，养猪的人被要求提供多种改善环境的方式。草原猪中心研究在动物行为学的科学家约兰德·塞登(Yolande Seddon)博士，告诉那些参加中心的马尼托巴本周春季生产会议的人，将新颖的物品放置在猪圈中来调查一下是非常有益的。
