Environmental enrichment is a crucial aspect of animal care in captivity, aiming to promote the physical and psychological well-being of animals. This review examines the effects of environmental enrichment on behavioral and physiological well-being in captive animals, with a focus on its implications for veterinary science. We discuss the various types of enrichment strategies, their benefits, and the challenges of implementing effective enrichment programs. Additionally, we explore the role of veterinarians in promoting animal welfare through enrichment and provide recommendations for future research.
