Physical exercise plays a fundamental role in the physical and emotional welfare of every breeding animal. This protocol recommends adapting activity levels to age, species, body condition, temperament, and reproductive stage, avoiding both sedentary lifestyles and excessive exercise during sensitive periods such as pregnancy or postpartum recovery.
Key recommendations include establishing daily activity routines that support muscle condition, mental stimulation, and healthy release of accumulated stress. Safe spaces should be provided where animals can move freely, explore their environment, and express species-appropriate natural behaviors.
The protocol also discourages keeping breeding animals in excessively restrictive facilities or in conditions of prolonged mobility limitation. The objective is to understand exercise not only as a physical necessity, but also as an essential element for emotional stability and overall welfare.
