Ethology of Farm Animals
Editorial Reviews
Animal Breeding Abstracts
The reproductive biologist, veterinarian and animal production scientist are going to find this a most useful book to consult, and for the behavioural scientist it will be essential reading.
Book Description
This book combines in a systematic and comprehensive form the various authoritative contributions by internationally established experts on the behaviour of the farm animal. This has been done in a way which allows the reader to trace specific items of information and to progress through the subject from an essential foundation to comprehensive and detailed accounts of behavioural characteristics.
The main part of the book is dedicated to the physiological basis of large animal behaviour, the development of behaviour, the manifold nature of behaviour relating to maintenance and to reproduction. Syndromes of irregular and abnormal behaviour are also fully covered.
The book will be an authoritative reference work for teachers and students. Researchers in the livestock sphere will find it invaluable as a source of behavioural information.
