Larger cages with housing unit environment enrichment improve the welfare of marmosets
The provision of adequate space for laboratory animals is essential not only for good welfare but accurate studies. For example, housing conditions for primates used in biomedical research may negatively affect welfare and thus the reliability of findings. In common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus), an appropriate cage size enables a socially harmonious family environment and optimizes reproducti...
متن کاملWelfare, health, and hygiene of laying hens housed in furnished cages and in alternative housing systems.
The aim of this review was to compare welfare, health, and hygienic status of laying hens housed in furnished cages and in alternative systems. In alternative systems (floor housing and aviaries), birds have more freedom of movement and a more complex environment than in furnished cages. However, housing birds in much larger flocks in alternative systems leads to an increased risk of feather-pe...
متن کاملHousing Environment and Enrichment for Laboratory Rats - Refinement and Reduction Outcomes
Laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus) are usually housed in polycarbonate, polypropylene or stainless steel solid bottom cages (SBCs) with bedding, although grid floor cages (GFCs) without contact bedding are also used. When housing rodents in laboratory conditions group housing and environmental enrichment are generally recommended. Due to the large number of rats used in biomedical research eac...
متن کاملHousing Prices and the Elderly Population’s Welfare
This paper explains a technique and presents empirical results for measuring the change in elderly consumer’s welfare due to price changes in items in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). A new approach for measuring welfare changes due to price changes in owner-occupied housing in a static and dynamic setting is the cornerstone of this research. The model treats housing as an asset with the fundame...
متن کاملDo Larger Countries Have Higher Welfare?
Existing intra-industry models with two countries and inelastic labor supply show that a larger country has a higher wage/income and higher welfare. We reexamine these outcomes by use of a model with endogenous labor supply. We show that each outcome in existing models can be reversed as well as that the larger country may have less-than-proportionate share of rms. Especially, when consumersl...
