Ansc 4100 Questions with Complete Solutions
5 movements of housing Correct Answer-i) movement of animal
ii) movement of nutrition/food
iii) movement of manure
iv) movement of humans in that facility
v) light/wind movement (can engineer light but not wind)
features of the animal that influence its environmental requirements
Correct Answer-natural history (where it evolved, how it lived, what it's
built for)
temperature requirements (hot, cold, temperatre, seasonal fluctuations in
coat/metabolism)
patterns of locomotion and if this is part of enrichment - running, flying,
perching, burrowing, brachiating
social organization
feeding and drinking patterns
parental behaviour - bonding, isolation, nesting
other maintenance behaviour (wallowing, dustbathing, grooming)
how can genetics affect adaptability to different environments? Correct
Answer-tolerance to heat and cold
coat colour and depth
disease resistance (exposure, specific pathogen-free/SPF facilities,
resistant to infectious diseases, geology and parasite resistance)
flightiness/hot, warm, cold-wired behaviour traits
,handling and facility design
mothering ability and how much we want to allow this ability
what can rearing environment during development have effects on?
Correct Answer-morphology, body shape, physical abilities
physiology, stress response
sensory systems
learning Correct Answer-temporary effects of experience
affect ability to adapt to feeding, watering, or other automated systems,
handling
features of the environment that influence animal biology Correct
Answer-thermal environment (temp, humidity, air movement, solar
radiation)
group vs individual housing
flooring, bedding
constant vs fluctuating temps
lighting (type, incandescent, fluorescent, natural daylight, intensity,
brightness, light:dark ratio, schedule, constant, changing
(chronobiology)
air quality - levels of dusts, gases, pathogens, affected by ventilation
rates+patterns, flooring, bedding, manure management, activity patterns
of the animals
sanitation/hygiene/disease transfer (manure management, groups vs
individual housing, indoor vs outdoor housing)
, nutrition/environment interactions
space and social setting (density, group composition)
equipment (flooring, design of cages, crates, feeders, drinkers)
noise
stress Correct Answer-how animal copes when challenged beyond its
behavioural and physiological capacities to adapt to its environment
name two aspects crucial to an animal's psychological well-being
Correct Answer-can perform highly motivated species appropriate
behaviours
animal needs opportunities to have control over its environment
if both aren't satisfied leads to frustration and stress
5 freedoms Correct Answer-Freedom from hunger and thirst
Freedom from discomfort
Freedom from pain, injury, and disease
Freedom to express normal behavior
Freedom from fear and distress
what determines an animal's coping pattern? what are the different
coping patterns? Correct Answer-genetic disposition and early
experience
