随着年龄的增长，许多动物的身体和行为都会发生变化。与年龄相关的身体或心理能力的变化会限制动物体验积极幸福的机会。随着动物园里的动物寿命比以往任何时候都长，了解与物种衰老相关的共同身体、认知和行为变化可以帮助管理实践。这篇综述收集了大量物种中常见的与年龄相关的变化的信息，讨论了这些变化对老龄动物的潜在福利影响，并提出了看护人在人类照顾下最大化老龄动物积极福利机会的方法。在过去的30年里，兽医护理、营养和动物园动物饲养的改善导致了这些动物寿命的延长。在同一时期，动物福利科学的重点已经从关注减轻负面福利影响转向促进动物的积极福利体验。例如，为动物提供发挥代理作用、解决问题或获得奖励的机会都与积极的福利结果有关。许多常见的与年龄有关的变化，由于疼痛或其他身体、认知或行为上的限制，导致获得积极福利体验的机会受到限制。这篇综述汇总了物种中常见的与年龄相关的身体和行为变化的信息，讨论了年龄相关的变化如何限制人类照顾老年动物的积极福利机会，并提出了潜在的管理方法，以帮助促进动物园和水族馆中所有生命阶段的动物的积极福利。
Many animals experience physical and behavioral changes as they age. Age-related changes in physical or mental ability can limit the opportunities for animals to experience positive well-being. As animals in zoos are living longer than ever, understanding common physical, cognitive, and behavioral changes associated with ageing across species can help inform management practices. This review aggregates information about common age-related changes across a wide number of species, discusses the potential welfare impacts of these changes for ageing animals, and suggests methods for caretakers to maximize positive welfare opportunities for ageing animals under human care. Improvements in veterinary care, nutrition, and husbandry of animals living in zoos have led to an increase in the longevity of these animals over the past 30 years. In this same time period, the focus of animal welfare science has shifted from concerns over mitigating negative welfare impacts to promoting positive welfare experiences for animals. For instance, providing opportunities for animals to exert agency, solve problems, or acquire rewards are all associated with positive welfare outcomes. Many common age-related changes result in limitations to opportunities for positive welfare experiences, either due to pain or other physical, cognitive, or behavioral limitations. This review aggregates information regarding common age-related physical and behavioral changes across species, discusses how age-related changes may limit positive welfare opportunities of aged animals in human care, and suggests potential management methods to help promote positive welfare for animals at all life stages in zoos and aquariums.
