Film fra studie: Hingster kan holdes i flokk

Vi har tidligere skrevet om forskning på det å holde hingster i flokk: https://www.facebook.com/…/pb…/421165579709664/…

Her er en film fra en av studiene, den er virkelig verdt å se! Filmen viser hvordan hingstene slippes sammen, og hvordan samspillet utvikler seg mellom dem i løpet av de første dagene sammen.

«Only minor injuries were observed, as well as a decrease in aggressive behavior during the first 4 days. The stallions played with each other and established social contact in the form of mutual grooming, which had a positive effect on the mental and physical health of the animals. A generally friendlier and more relaxed attitude toward humans was observed.»
