| Animal-assisted interventions mean therapeutic and pedagogical measures as well as social support for people with various physical and mental disabilities or social weaknesses. Integral part is the use of animals, which meet specific criteria. In animal-assisted interventions on farms, animals such as cattle, pigs or chicken are used as “co-therapists”. Besides the competences of the providers and operational safety on the farm, also the welfare of the animals has to be ensured to offer quality and safety of the animal-assisted interventions. The aim of this survey was to give an overview of the concepts and the range of animal use on basis of literature re-search – and to work out approaches to evaluate animal welfare. The considerations have shown that... |

| Diese Querschnittsstudie untersuchte 1) das Niveau und die Varianz von Variablen, die die Mensch-Tier-Beziehung auf ökologischen Milchviehbetrieben beschreiben und 2) potentielle Einflüsse auf das Kuhverhalten gegenüber dem Menschen. Auf 24 ökologischen Betrieben wurden die Ausweichdistanzen (AD) der Kühe gegenüber einer unbekannten Person und Faktoren zur Einstellung der Tierbetreuer_innen gegenüber den Kühen, zu Mensch-Tier-Kontakten, Herden- und Managementcharakteristika erhoben. Sowohl hinsichtlich des Kuhverhaltens als auch hinsichtlich der menschlichen und betrieblichen Faktoren unterschieden sich die untersuchten Betriebe teils deutlich voneinander. Auf Herdenebene ließen sich zwischen 8 und 71% der Kühe (Median = 33%) im AD-Test berühren (ADtouch);... |

| The stress level is considered as one important aspect of dairy cow welfare. Beside aspects of housing, management and social herd stressors, stress might also be related to the human-animal relationship (HAR). An established and non-invasive physiological method to assess medium-term stress is the measurement of fecal cortisol metabolites (FCM), reflecting the adrenocortical activity over several hours with a delay of 8-10 hours due to gut passage time. For the assessment of the HAR, behavioural tests recording the cows´ responses towards humans can be used. Beside quantitative methods, e.g. recording the cows´ avoidance distances towards humans, also the qualitative behaviour assessment (QBA) assessing the cows´ body language have been shown to be... |

| Auf 30 Praxisbetrieben wurden Zusammenhänge von Mensch-Tier-Beziehung, Stressbelastung, Management und Haltung auf die Mastitisanfälligkeit und Selbstheilungskapazität untersucht. Das Gesamtmuster der Zusammenhänge zeigte, dass positive Einstellungen und Interaktionen mit den Tieren, die eine positive Mensch-Tier-Beziehung aufbauen und ein frühes Wahrnehmen von Problemen ermöglichen, die Eutergesundheit von Milchkühen positiv beeinflussen können. |

| Impact patterns of human–animal relationship HAR) and herd stress level on udder health were investigated in a cross-sectional study on 30 German and Danish organic dairy herds also taking into account influencing factors regarding housing and management. Cow behavior (avoidance distance, tolerance to tactile interaction, release behavior) was assessed in tests, milkers’ behavior recorded during milking, and information about contacts with animals during routine work gathered by interview. Additionally, stockpersons’ attitudes were recorded via questionnaires. Fecal cortisol metabolites were measured in approximately 30 focal cows on each farm and used as a proxy to determine the level of distress within the herd. Management and housing were assessed... |
