Sinossi

This book for stockmen and agricultural and veterinary students concentrates on what is of practical use in livestock farming. The scientific principles are explained, followed by separate chapters describing the behaviour of cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, goats, deer, horses and dogs. Special attention is paid to birth, rearing, sexual development, reproduction and special aspects of production such as milking, intensive fattening, housing, stress and training. A realistic and practical approach is adopted to the issues of animal welfare and stress in farm animals. The book aims to show how an understanding of animal behaviour can be used not only to improve the welfare of farm animals, but also the economic return from livestock production.
