摘要

短头性阻塞性气道综合征(BOAS)是平脸犬种的主要福利问题。由于BOAS会导致呼吸困难和运动不耐受,因此会降低狗的日常生活质量。然而,评估狗的生活质量是困难的,许多主人认为BOAS迹象是“正常”的品种。测量活动频率、持续时间和强度的加速度计可以提供一种客观的方式来评估狗的日常活动,从而提供对生活质量的潜在见解。本研究的目的是利用加速度计评估48只短头犬和23只非短头犬的习惯性身体活动。加速度计使用了一周,主人填写了一份关于他们的狗的健康和活动的问卷。确定短头犬的兽医评估BOAS分级。与对照组相比,受影响更严重的法国斗牛犬和巴哥犬的总活动量显著降低,高活动量的时间也更少。在巴哥犬中,轻度感染的狗也不太活跃,但年龄可能是一个因素,因为年龄越大,巴哥犬的活动减少,对照组的年龄范围更广。在法国斗牛犬中,那些没有或轻度BOAS症状的狗在日常活动方面与对照组没有什么不同。总之,加速度计很容易用于客观测量短头犬的日常活动,尽管有报道称项圈会带来一定程度的不适。结果显示,BOAS症状与习惯性体力活动减少有关。这些发现强调了采取行动减少短头品种BOAS发病率的重要性。

Comparison of habitual physical activity in French Bulldogs, Pugs and normocephalic dogs by accelerometry
Abstract Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is a major welfare concern in flat-faced dog breeds. As BOAS causes respiratory difficulties and exercise intolerance, it can reduce dogs’ daily quality of life (QOL). However, evaluation of QOL in dogs is difficult, and many owners perceive BOAS signs as ‘normal’ for the breed. Accelerometers that measure frequency, duration and intensity of activities can offer an objective way of evaluating dogs’ daily activity and thereby deliver potential insights into QOL. The aim of this study was to assess habitual physical activity of 48 brachycephalic and 23 non-brachycephalic dogs using accelerometers. The accelerometers were used for one week and owners filled in a questionnaire regarding their dog’s well-being and activities. Veterinary-assessed BOAS grading for brachycephalic dogs was determined. Compared with controls, more severely affected French Bulldogs and Pugs had significantly lower total activity counts and spent less time in high activity. In Pugs, mildly affected dogs were also less active, but age can be a contributing factor here, as older age decreased activity in Pugs and controls showed a wider age range. In French Bulldogs, those dogs with no or mild signs of BOAS did not differ from controls regarding their daily activity. In conclusion, accelerometers were easy to use for objective measurement of daily activity in bracycephalic dogs, although a degree of discomfort due to the collar was reported. Results showed that BOAS signs were associated with decreased habitual physical activity. These findings emphasise the importance of actions taken to reduce incidence of BOAS in brachycephalic breeds.

期刊介绍: Animal Welfare is an international scientific and technical journal. It publishes the results of peer-reviewed scientific research, technical studies and reviews relating to the welfare of kept animals (eg on farms, in laboratories, zoos and as companions) and of those in the wild whose welfare is compromised by human activities. Papers on related ethical, social, and legal issues and interdisciplinary papers will also be considered for publication. Studies that are derivative or which replicate existing publications will only be considered if they are adequately justified. Papers will only be considered if they bring new knowledge (for research papers), new perspectives (for reviews) or develop new techniques. Papers must have the potential to improve animal welfare, and the way in which they achieve this, or are likely to do so, must be clearly specified in the section on Animal welfare implications.
