Description
Summary:An abstract of the study by A. K. Johnson about the aversion of carbon dioxide gas in pigs using approach-avoidance and conditioned place avoidance paradigms is presented. Here, weaned pig responses to carbon dioxide were examined using approach- avoidance and conditioned place avoidance paradigms. Result shows no consistent differences were observed for carbon dioxide levels, suggesting that all the concentrations tested were aversive to pigs to some degree. However, aversion was not sufficient to provoke avoidance behavior by naive pigs or pigs that lost posture during previous exposure.
