Resumo

O enriquecimento ambiental (EE) é uma técnica que aumenta o bem-estar animal. O comportamento dos lobos guará quando expostos a quatro odores escondidos fora do recinto foi investigado. Utilizando o método do animal focal e registrando todas as ocorrências, seu comportamento foi analisado por cinco minutos em cada fase da linha de base (Basal), durante a exposição (Exp) e após a retirada do estímulo (Pos). As respostas comportamentais foram categorizadas como positivas (P +), negativas (N-) e outras (Ot). O P + médio aumentou significativamente (P <0,05) do Basal para o Exp, mas não foi estatisticamente diferente (P = 0,60) entre o Basal e o Pos. Nem N- nem Ot mudaram estatisticamente em nenhuma das fases (P> 0,5). Os lobos guará pareciam ser sensíveis a este EE com os estímulos olfativos usados durante o período de estimulação olfativa. O método usado é prático, seguro e flexível e pode ser útil em programas de enriquecimento sensorial.
