Djurvälfärd, djurskydd och etologi

Kursen innehåller fördjupning inom områdena etologi och djurskydd.


Kursen är uppbyggd av självstudier med seminarier av vetenskaplig litteratur, där studenten aktivt leder genomförandet. Kursen innehåller ett antal nyckelföreläsningar, tillämpade övningar, bedömning av djurhållningsformer samt ett projektarbete i form av en vetenskaplig etologisk studie. I kursen tränas de generella kompetenserna debatt och argumentationsförmåga genom övningar där aktuella djurskyddsfrågor diskuteras ut flera olika perspektiv. Kursen innehåller ett projektarbete och studiebesök.


Obligatoriska moment förekommer inom t.ex. övningar, seminarium, projektarbeten och studiebesök.

Litteraturlista

  1. Understanding animal welfare : The science in its cultural context (UFAW animal welfare series) Författare: Fraser D. Kommentar: Obligatory literature: • Fraser, D. (2008). Understanding animal welfare : The science in its cultural context (UFAW animal welfare series). Oxford ; Ames, Iowa: Wiley-Blackwell. • Scientific papers related to course activities

Not obligatory but highly recommended: One book focusing on Animal Behaviour, of your own choice. Here are some suggestions (if you find another book on the corresponding level that is more relevant for you that is ok): • Manning, A., & Dawkins, M. (2012). An introduction to animal behaviour (6th ed.). Cambridge ; New York: Cambridge University Press. • Price, E. (2008). Principles and applications of domestic animal behavior: An introductory text. Wallingford: CABI. • Broom, D., & Fraser, A. (2015). Domestic animal behaviour and welfare. (Fifth edition / Donald M. Broom and Andrew F. Fraser. ed.). Wallingford: CABI. • Martin, P., & Bateson, P. (2007). Measuring behaviour: An introductory guide (3.rd ed.). Cambridge: Cambridge Univ. Press.

If you want to prepare before the course on the basic elements of animal behaviour (and welfare) we suggest that you read Jensen 2009 (at least part 1). This book indicates the level of knowledge that is expected at course start. • Jensen, P. (2009). The ethology of domestic animals: An introductory text. Wallingford: CABI Pub. Jensen, 2009 (or at least an older version from 2002) is available as e-book at the SLU library.
