提升犊牛福利的有效按摩部位探究
Exploration of Effective Massage Areas for Calves
摘要
Abstract
The purpose of this experiment was to explore the effective massage areas for calves.Thirty-six Holstein female calves,aged 14 days,were selected for the study and randomly divided into three groups,with each group undergoing 12 repetitions.The upper neck massage group(UNM group)was massaged by experiment personnel by hand on the upper neck of the calves(60 times/min),the lower neck massage group(LNM group)was massaged on the lower neck of the calves(60 times/min),and the contact control group(CON group)involved experiment personnel standing close to the calves without massaging but only touching the neck area(5 times/min).A 3×3 Latin square experimental design was adopted,with three phases,each lasting one day,with treatment at 14:00 once per day,and each group and each calf treated for 2 minutes per phase.An avoidance distance test was conducted after each phase.The avoidance distance test quantitatively scores based on observations of the calf's reactions to the experimenter's approach and touch.The results showed that the evaluation scores of avoidance distance for the groups receiving upper and lower neck massages were significantly higher than those observed in the contact control group,indicating a notable difference(P<0.05).In conclusion,the upper and lower neck are both more effective massage areas for calves.关键词
