人们早就知道，气味和嗅觉在动物的行为发育和表达中起着重要作用。嗅觉在许多情况下，如觅食，配偶选择和捕食风险评估。事实上，嗅觉是大多数哺乳动物和人类饲养的许多家养物种（包括鸡）的主要感觉方式（1）。因此，气味可能会影响动物的许多处理和管理程序，无论是在农场，动物园，实验室还是在家庭中。尽管如此，应用动物行为学家和动物福利科学家还没有在很大程度上研究化学感觉知觉或在他们的研究中包括气味。
It has long been known that odors and olfaction play a major role in behavioral development and expression in animals. The sense of smell is employed in numerous contexts, such as foraging, mate choice, and predation risk assessment. Indeed, olfaction is the primary sensory modality for most mammals, and many domestic species kept by humans, including chickens (1). Odors are therefore likely to influence many of the handling and management procedures carried out with animals, whether on farms, in zoos, in the laboratory, or in the family home. Despite this, applied ethologists and animal welfare scientists have not to any great extent investigated chemosensory perception or included odors in their studies.
