How to Tell if an #Animal is Happy? | Innovative Techniques to Improve #AnimalWelfare
Channel: BBSRC
Date: 10/05/2016

In this video, we explore how BBSRC-funded research groups in the UK are using innovative new techniques to get a closer and more accurate look at an animal's welfare state, particularly those relevant to farming and agriculture.

While it may be easy for us to pick up physical cues and social signals that indicate relaxed or stressed states in humans, animals have their own world of signals that are hard for us to pick up on. This is particularly true for herd animals like cows and sheep, who have a life-or-death interest in hiding their true physical state from predators, including people. 

Join us as we delve deeper into the fascinating world of animal behavior and welfare, and learn how these cutting-edge techniques are helping farmers and researchers better understand the health and well-being of the animals they work with.
