Behavioural differences exist between lame and non-lame sheep, increases in ‘inactivity’ are a potential early warning sign of disease that could be identified by biologgers and used to allow farmers to identify and treat lame sheep faster, improving welfare #AnimBehav2023 6/6

Happy to say the full manuscript is now available ☺️ https://t.co/U6AvpzEC0x

Most lameness in sheep in the U.K. has infectious bacterial causes, which is why we investigated whether spatial proximity was associated with risk of becoming lame 🦠

New paper: social behaviour in sheep changes when they are lame, and social behaviour also influences their risk of becoming lame 🐑 https://t.co/p9ShcB4amT

Here our researcher @OzellaLaura in collaboration with @UniofExeter explored social dynamics in farm animals, highlighting that management interventions can cause transitory social instability in a flock of ewes and lambs🐑 #animalwelfare #animalbehaviour

When studying animals it can be easy to assume that they perceive the world the same way we humans do. But it’s important to keep in mind “umwelt”, or the world as it is experienced by a particular animal. Let’s talk about how birds perceive the world. @bird_sock #ABStakeover 1/9

The story started 10 yrs ago when @MegCrofoot attached GPS and accelerometers to a troop of baboons. Flashforward a decade to the realization that the data could crack the mystery of collective sleep in the wild. We classified sleep from the ACC data, with thermal video backup2/9

For instance, work with @richard_vogg on detecting + tracking monkeys in the wild and recognize their social interactions. In collaboration with @DPZ_eu researchers like @PrimBehavEcol, Claudia Fichtel and @julxf.

If you have outdoor rabbits, please make sure to provide them with lots of clean, fresh bedding hay to keep them warm, cover their housing with blankets or tarps to protect from the elements, and remember that rabbits love to snuggle with a neutered companion for warmth.

Very proud of this publication. Great team and great research! #OneHealth #GuineaWorm

Our latest out now in @CurrentBiology: "Seasonal fishery facilitates a novel transmission pathway in an emerging animal reservoir of Guinea worm"
Animals are key impediment to #Guineaworm eradication worldwide - but how do dogs catch this human disease?
