Abstract

Valid reliable indicators of positive affective state are a critical component of welfare assessments, however, these are currently lacking for laying hens. Pharmacological interventions that disrupt specific neural pathways have shown to be a useful tool when validating indicators of affective states. As such, we utilised and validated the μ-opioid receptor antagonist nalmefene to block the reward pathway in laying hens.
