In this module the aim is to gain knowledge and understanding of:
-
What natural, normal and rewarding behaviours are for animals.
-
How the expression of normal, natural and rewarding behaviours supports good animal welfare and how this can be encouraged through the provision of species-appropriate enrichment.
-
How a lack of appropriate environmental and behavioural choices can lead to poor welfare.
-
What an abnormal behaviour is, how it can lead to stereotypical behaviours and poor animal welfare.
