TÉCNICA DE MASSAGEM RELAXANTE COMO FERRAMENTA PARA MELHORAR A RELAÇÃO HUMANO-ANIMAL E OS PARÂMETROS DE BEM-ESTAR ANIMAL
Palavras-chave:
Criadores, Estado emocional positivo, Habituação, Seres sencientes, ToqueResumo
O manejo aversivo de espécies de produção pode ter graves consequências na produtividade, reprodução e bem-estar animal, sendo necessários estudos que visam um bom relacionamento humano-animal (RHA), por meio do toque suave, como uma tentativa de tornar este manejo mais benéfico para seres humanos e animais. Nesse sentido, a massagem feita com as mãos constitui uma nova proposta para melhorar o RHA envolvendo ruminantes domésticos. Sendo assim, os objetivos desta revisão são: (1) compreender a importância de um bom relacionamento entre humanos e ruminantes, incluindo a interação com toque; (2) descrever o impacto da massagem sobre diversos parâmetros relacionados à fisiologia, aos estados emocionais e aos comportamentais em humanos e animais; e (3) propor o uso da técnica Stroking em ruminantes domésticos, como forma de incentivar produtores e tratadores a utilizarem a massagem como um método alternativo para melhorar o RHA. Sabe-se que diferentes estudos e protocolos mostraram a importância do toque na promoção de um bom RHA, além dos diversos impactos da massage. Ainda, ao observar que cabras massageadas com a técnica Stroking apresentaram comportamentos positivos, como lambidas na massagista, constata-se que o incentivo ao estudo da modulação de outros parâmetros, como fisiológicos, zootécnicos e psicológicos, em ruminantes domésticos massageados, é necessário. Assim, a aplicação da massagem relaxante, como uma nova ferramenta para a melhora da interação humano-animal envolvendo ruminantes domésticos, é uma proposta que visa criar uma maior proximidade com os animais, possivelmente influenciando a forma como produtores e cuidadores percebem esses seres sencientes.
