Abstract

Many scientists agree that health and productivity are not the only factors for determining whether or not an animal has good welfare. There is increasing emphasis on assessing the emotional or affective state of the animal. Jaak Panksepp, a neuroscientist, has identified the core emotional system, which is located in the subcortex of the brain in all mammals. These systems drive behavior. The core emotional systems are: FEAR, which makes animals avoid danger (negative emotion); PANIC, separation distress (negative emotion); SEEK, explore (positive emotion); RAGE (negative emotion); LUST-SEX (positive emotion); CARING, mother young nurturing (positive emotion); and PLAY (positive emotion). Examples of behavior initiated due to negative emotions would be attempts to escape, hiding, kicking, defecation during restraint, vocalization when separated from other animals, large flight zone, and biting. Behaviors initiated by positive emotional systems are exploration, play, normal grooming, dust bathing in chickens, and sex. Problems with abnormal behavior are also discussed. © CAB International 2015. All rights reserved.
