| Research Abstract |
Raising pigs in the pasture to increase their welfare and decrease their environmental stress lead to increase their immune responses, reduce their stress related pain from endcrinological data, and final product which were pork meat was juicier and softer than the ordinary raised pigs. We utilized feline appeasement pheromone to reduce pain related stress in cats and observed by their behavior and cerebral metabolism. Appeasement pheromone seemed to reduce pain related stress from its behaviors. However, there are no differences in cerebral metabolism by applying appeasement pheromones to caged cats.
