متن کاملBehavioural and physiological responses to an acute stressor in crib-biting and control horses
The responses of eleven pairs of crib-biting and non-crib-biting horses (controls) to an arousalinducing stimulus were studied. Video-observation of the horses revealed that crib-biting horses spent between 10.4 and 64.7% of their stabling time performing the stereotypy.

متن کاملPhysiological and behavioral consequences associated with short-term prevention of crib-biting in horses.
Crib-biting in the horse is frequently prevented in the short-term by horse-owners using physical means. Because it has been proposed that crib-biting may function to reduce stress, the effect of prevention of crib-biting and/or eating on the behaviour, heart rate, and plasma cortisol and beta-endorphin concentrations was measured in six crib-biting and six normal horses. When crib-biters were ...
