This week we piloted some test designs and equipment for #SmellsLikeWelfare at our new collaboration Edeby Gård. Such a joy to be working with Icelandic horses and the best team! We also had time for a birthday celebration 🙏🏻 #luckyme Rebecca Grut Johanna Stenfelt

This week we are habituating our participants to the arena and equipment of #smellslikewelfare. Beautiful surroundings and horses! Everything is done pairwise and the bystander is usually keen on watching the friend perform🐎🥕 #smellnicehorse Johanna Stenfelt Rebecca Grut

Our first week on farm went by so fast! All horses did so well (here, Oríon and Solfagur) and I couldn’t be happier with the choice of experimental farm and the wonderful staff at Edeby Gård 🐴 #SmellsLikeWelfare #SmellNiceHorse

Our abstract is submitted for #isae2024 and I followed Maria Vilain Rørvang and Johanna Stenfelt footsteps and let AI generate a photo based on the abstract. Stay tuned 🐓

Some days ago, I presented some of our findings from #HenFriend where we developed an apparatus to test for #prosocial #behaviour in laying hens, at #ISAE2024 🐓 Let’s see what happens next!

Do you think odourising straw could make it more enriching for growing pigs? Stop by poster 11 in the coffee break if you’re at #WAFL2024 and I will give you the answer. I’m right next to the cake and coffee table ☕️🍪🍩 #pigolfaction #smellthis

As part of our next and final experiment, a judgement bias task, Rebecca Grut and I have been target training 24 Icelandic horses to get them ready for discrimination training. Just look at this cute boop! 😍 #SmellsLikeWelfare Maria Vilain Rørvang
