EURCAW Ruminants & Equines has released a new video based on the environmental enrichment thematic factsheet authored by Valentin Brunet, Raphaëlle Botreau and Isabelle Veissier, which is available on our website.

The concept of environmental enrichment refers to a wide range of modifications to the environment of captive or farmed animals that offer adequate stimulation and facilitate the expression of highly motivated behaviour thus promoting positive emotions and improving the animal’s welfare. This thematic factsheet describes the concept and application of environmental enrichment, with examples and their impacts to support animal welfare.

This video summarises key scientific reviews and outlines relevant EU legislative requirements concerning environmental enrichment for ruminants and equines.
