Can Göttingen Minipigs be trained?
YES! And you can learn how on the course "How to train your Göttingen Minipigs".
We have invited Associate Professor at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences at the University of Copenhagen (Københavns Universitet), Dorte Bratbo Sørensen (DVM, PhD), to teach this course. She specialises in laboratory animal welfare and ethology, animal ethics, 3Rs, and Culture of Care, and her main research areas revolve around the use of positive reinforcement to train laboratory animals to voluntarily participate in procedures and enhancement of refinement through animal-centric management, husbandry, and procedures.
An extract from the course description says: Göttingen Minipigs are incredibly intelligent creatures and require well-thought-of stimuli to thrive. They are highly trainable and love a good challenge. Every time you train your Göttingen Minipigs, you are also improving your understanding and communication with the animal. Correct handling and training, therefore, not only minimizes stress and improves minipig welfare but also makes the work with minipigs more rewarding and the data they generate more reliable.
