In modern intensive husbandry, systems often restrict farm animal behavior. Behavioral needs will be generated by external stimuli such as stressors deriving from environmental factors or the method of animal care, or some internal factor in farm animals. This means that behavioral restriction would induce maladaptation to stressors or chronic stress. Such a risk of behavioral restriction degrades an animal's physical and mental health and leads to economic loss at a farm. Methods to reduce the risk of behavioral restrictions are to ameliorate the source of a stressor through adequate animal management or to carry out environmental enrichment. This review is intended to describe the relation between animal management and behavioral needs from the perspective of animal motivation.
在现代集约化养殖中，养殖系统常常会限制农场动物的行为。行为需求可能由外部刺激产生，比如来自环境因素或动物饲养方式的应激源，或者农场动物自身的某些内部因素。这意味着行为限制会导致对应激源的适应不良或慢性应激。这种行为限制的风险会损害动物的身心健康，并给养殖场带来经济损失。降低行为限制风险的方法包括通过适当的动物管理改善应激源的源头，或者进行环境优化。本综述旨在从动物动机的角度描述动物管理与行为需求之间的关系。
