Animal welfare has historically been defined at the intersection of 3 key concepts: (1) health and biological functioning, (2) affective state, and (3) natural living. For farmed animals, such as dairy cattle, health and biological functioning are often prioritized, sometimes at the expense of natural living. In this work, the authors discuss the perceived conflict between the duty of care exercised by producers and the resulting consequences to natural behavior expression. They also provide considerations on how indoor housing systems for dairy cattle may be refined to better permit natural behaviors, with particular emphasis on animals' motivational priorities.
动物福利历来是在以下 3 个关键概念的交叉点上定义的：（1）健康和生物功能，（2）情感状态，（3）自然生活。对于农场动物，如奶牛，健康和生物功能通常是优先考虑的，有时甚至牺牲了自然生活。在这项工作中，作者讨论了生产者所承担的照顾责任与自然行为表达的结果之间的潜在冲突。他们还就如何改进奶牛的室内饲养系统以更好地允许自然行为提供了一些考虑因素，特别强调了动物的动机优先事项。
