Certain breeds and management factors have been associated.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Objectives<\/jats:italic>\n                    : To determine: breed prevalence of crib\u2010biting in US horses; the likelihood that one horse learns to crib\u2010bite from another; and owner perceptions of causal factors.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                    : An initial postal survey queried the number and breed of crib\u2010biting horses and if a horse began after being exposed to a horse with this habit. In a follow\u2010up survey, a volunteer subset of owners was asked the number of affected and nonaffected horses of each breed and the extent of conspecific contact. The likelihood of crib\u2010biting given breed and extent of contact was quantified using odds ratio (OR) and significance of the association was assessed using the Chi\u2010squared test.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Overall prevalence was 4.4%. Thoroughbreds were the breed most affected (13.3%). Approximately half of owners believed environmental factors predominantly cause the condition (54.4%) and crib\u2010biting is learned by observation (48.8%). However, only 1.0% of horses became affected after being exposed to a crib\u2010biter. The majority (86%) of horses was turned out in the same pasture with other horses and extent of contact with conspecifics was not statistically related to risk.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>\n                    : This is the first study to report breed prevalence for crib\u2010biting in US horses. Thoroughbreds were the breed more likely to be affected. More owners believed either environmental conditions were a predominant cause or a combination of genetic and environmental factors contributes to the behaviour. Only a small number of horses reportedly began to crib\u2010bite after being exposed to an affected individual, but approximately half of owners considered it to be a learned behaviour; most owners did not isolate affected horses.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Potential relevance<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Genetic predisposition, not just intensive management conditions and surroundings, may be a factor in the high crib\u2010biting prevalence in some breeds, and warrants further investigation. Little evidence exists to suggest horses learn the behaviour from other horses, and isolation may cause unnecessary stress.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2746\/042516409x372584","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,28]],"date-time":"2009-04-28T20:41:08Z","timestamp":1240951268000},"page":"455-458","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":81,"title":["Crib\u2010biting in US horses: Breed predispositions and owner perceptions of aetiology"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"J.
