动物福利研究致力于经验性地评估护理和管理做法如何影响不同环境中动物的健康和福祉。这包括农业、生物医学和同伴动物，以及动物园和水族馆中由专业人员管理的动物。为在专业管理的护理中使用动物而开发的工具也可能应用于保护科学，这是对生物多样性的跨学科研究和保护。从历史上看，对唾液的兴趣源于寻找侵入性更小的血液替代品的愿望，这种替代品允许对生理进行近乎实时的监测，并在较短的时间尺度上重复采样。从那时起，唾液的应用已经发展到包括评估动物对管理做法和新刺激的反应、生殖概况和健康监测。在本章中，我们强调在动物福利环境中实施唾液研究的现状和挑战。此外，我们还讨论了在动物园和水族馆实施唾液研究如何促进与物种保护相关的新的研究应用。总体而言，我们的目标是对唾液研究在动物福利和保护科学领域的应用和局限性进行批判性审查。
Animal welfare research strives to empirically assess how care and management practices impact the health and well-being of animals across diverse settings. This includes agricultural, biomedical, and companion animals as well as animals in professionally managed populations in zoos and aquariums. Tools developed for use with animals in professionally managed care may also have applications to conservation science, which is the interdisciplinary study and protection of biodiversity. Historically, interest in saliva arose out of a desire to find less invasive alternatives to blood that allow for near real-time monitoring of physiology and repeated sampling on shorter timescales. In the time since, applications for saliva have grown to include evaluating the response of animals to management practices and novel stimuli, reproductive profiling, and health monitoring. In this chapter, we emphasize the current state and challenges of implementing salivary research in animal welfare settings. Furthermore, we discuss how implementation of salivary research in zoos and aquariums for welfare purposes is facilitating novel research applications related to species conservation. Overall, our aim is to provide a critical examination of both the applications and limitations of salivary research to the fields of animal welfare and conservation science.
