“…Body condition [87][88][89][90][91][92] and weight [87,90,91,[93][94][95][96][97] are common, followed by cortisol (CORT) analysis using a variety of body part such as fecal matter [41,57,69], hair [97], saliva [97], and blood [28,92,[97][98][99], as well as surrounding water for aquatic animals [100] and feathers [74]. Some work involved animal sacrifice at the end of the study, resulting in biopsies [81,83,93,96,99] and meat quality analysis [91,101]. Related to physiological metrics, general metrics are also utilized, such as food and water consumption [60,94], distance traveled [76,84,85,87,94], speed [76], pitch of vocalization [82], and game outcomes [29].…”

Environmental enrichment is adding complexity to an environment that has a positive impact on a captive animal as a necessity of care. Computing technology is being rapidly weaved throughout the space in both enrichment devices as well as evaluating enrichment outcomes. In this article, we present a scoping review of 102 captive animal enrichment studies and propose a contextual lens for exploring current practices. We discuss the importance of directed growth in species inclusion, transitioning beyond anthro-centric designs, and utilizing shared methodologies.

“…At production stage, the consequences or impact of stress on farm animal production has been well studied and has been linked not only to impaired growth but also immune dysfunction [102]. Furthermore, at post-production stage stress and welfare conditions can affect the quality of the final products [103,104]. In this area, proteomic studies have mainly been applied to evaluate stress conditions and their impact on animal health and welfare.…”

The implementation of proteomics is an important step towards a better understanding of the complex biological systems that define animal health and production. The role that proteomics can play in the context of farm animal production is increasingly recognized and to date proteomics has been applied to characterize the physiology behind animal growth and development, reproduction, welfare and animal products. Furthermore, recent advances in mass spectrometry technologies have led to the development of novel strategies aimed at the identification of biomarkers present in different tissues and body fluids. Identification of valid biomarkers in animal tissue or body fluids such as serum, urine, milk, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid and semen to enable bio-monitoring on animal health and provide valuable information, on production, feeding status, and animalenvironment interaction is a priority in this field. Therefore, analysis of the proteome linked with biomarker discovery is emerging into a field of high interest, with the aim of improving farm animal productivity and welfare. The present book chapter addresses the recent specific advances of interest in farm animal proteomics and introduces biomarker approaches that are relevant in animal health, production and quality.
