American Association for Laboratory Animal Enrichment

A lovely way to end 2024 with a new paper on welfare concepts out in J. Applied Animal Welfare Science. Evidence-based inputs are the best foundation for valid outputs. Thanks for mucking in, Jack Lewton - much appreciated! "Key Concepts for Enhancing Zoo Animal Welfare: Coping, Comfort, Choice, Control, Challenge, and Compassion" #openacces #animalwelfare https://lnkd.in/eF9gGq2v

Try some different enrichment for your dogs! Did you know you can bring scents indoors for dogs? This is a great option for dogs on restricted diets. Bring the outside inside, by bringing in branches or leaves and placing them in a box or plastic container for the dogs to sniff. #dogenrichment #animalenrichment #aalae
