  • improving animal feeling of comfort with selfmassage equipment.

2. Publishing the results obtained in agricultural magazines, sharing at workshops and farm days.

Activities

1. Trīs dažāda lieluma saimniecībās ieviest un analizēt dažādas alternatīvas atragošanai:

- ragu galu noņemšana; uzmavu likšana ragiem, dzīvnieku agresijas mazināšana ar mūzikas terapiju;

- labturības uzlabošana ar novietnes apgaismojuma intensitātes un spektra izmainīšanu;

- dzīvnieku labsajūtas uzlabošana ar pašmasāžas iekārtām.

2. Iegūtos rezultātus atspoguļot lauksaimnieku žurnālos, semināros un lauku dienās.
