Abstract:
The behavioral pattern of animals under different bedding materials can be used as a standard for assessing the level of animal welfare. It is a physiological process used by the animal to adapt itself to external and internal changes. A faulty flooring system may induce stress conditions among the animals. Animals will try to cope up with these stressful conditions by altering their normal behavioral activities at the expense of extra energy. It is now widely accepted that both behavioral and physiological measures together provide a more comprehensive assessment of animal welfare than either alone so bedding is one of the most important components of animal housing as far as animal health and welfare are concerned. The present investigation is aimed to summarized wide aspect of review on the effect of different bedding on animal behavior and their welfare.
