Section 4: Zoo’s Animals<br />

com os animais, proporcionando<br />

uma melhora no bem-estar pela<br />

diminuição do estresse gerado<br />

nas ativida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> manejo, como<br />

por exemplo, a dos médicos<br />

veterinários em suas visitas<br />

rotineiras. Um outro uso do<br />

condicionamento é facilitar o<br />

transporte <strong>de</strong>sses animais, para que<br />

os mesmos possam ser realocados<br />

com o menor estresse possível<br />

utilizando-se exclusivamente <strong>de</strong><br />

comandos.<br />

Só em 2016, foram realizadas 689<br />

ativida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> condicionamento<br />

com 29 indivíduos.<br />

technicians with the animals, providing<br />

an improvement in well-being<br />

by reducing the stress generated<br />

in the handling activities, as for<br />

example the veterinarians in their<br />

routine visits. Another use of conditioning<br />

is to facilitate the transport<br />

of these animals, so that they can<br />

be relocated with the least possible<br />

stress using almost exclusively commands<br />

and positive reinforcement.<br />

In 2016, 689 conditioning activities<br />

were performed with 29 individuals.<br />
