This book commences with the foundations and methods of behaviour, including neuroethology, and progresses through production of behaviour relating to maintenance and social activities. Major features have been realigned and integrated since previous editions. Reproduction and development are given expanded sections, and abnormal behaviour is discussed with full clinical accounts of all identifiable syndromes of anomalous behaviour in agricultural animals. The final section relates to the practice of farm animal welfare.

This book provides a comprehensive scientific overview of the behavior of horses as a basis for ensuring their well-being. It begins by discussing the evolutionary and neurological basis of their behavior, and concepts such as emotion and motivation. Chapter 3 considers maintenance behavior, that is, sleep and feeding, which relate to homeostasis in the individual. A chapter on reproduction then reviews male and female sexual behavior as well as fetal, parturient and maternal behavior. Chapter 5 examines behavior of the foal, play, general social behavior and interactions. There is then consideration of abnormal behaviors and how to control them, before the final chapter assesses horse welfare, particularly in the context of training and overall husbandry.

The Behavior of the Horse

CABI Publishing

Behavior has always been recognized as an important indicator of health and welfare in farm animals. Until recently, however, the curricula of agriculture and veterinary students have paid little attention to these issues. This situation has now changed and most students will receive a formal course in the subject and require a basic textbook. This book fulfils the need for such a comprehensive textbook. The third edition was originally published in 1990 by Bailliere Tindall, but is now reprinted by CAB International, because of the demand expressed by teachers and students. It provides a comprehensive guide to the behavior of farm animals and to the objective evaluation of their welfare. While primarily directed at students, it will also be valuable for veterinary practitioners, farmers and biologists seeking an introduction to the subject

Domestic Animal Behaviour and Welfare [OP]

Humans have a natural interest in animals; through a long history of domestication, they have become tools, a food source, and even friends. Behavior is a significant indicator of animal health and well-being, and understanding this behavior is therefore the key to good management. Covering all aspects of animal behavior, including its relation to welfare for companion animals, farm animals, and farmed fish, this book reviews development, socialization, locomotion, reproduction, and more. It takes a comprehensive approach to the subject, featuring a section of chapters addressing common abnormal behaviors and examining some animals, such as rabbits, from both a pet and farm perspective. Now in its fifth edition, Domestic Animal Behaviour and Welfare includes new chapters detailing the welfare of sheep, goats, and exotic pets and welfare in relation to genetic selection and modification. Animal behavior and welfare sciences are now core topics for agriculture and veterinary students, with courses and research opportunities in this field growing world-wide. Fully updated and featuring new photographs, this indispensable textbook provides a student-friendly guide to the major themes of animal behavior and welfare.

Domestic Animal Behaviour and Welfare

Broom, Donald M.

Behavior is a significant indicator of health in animals and understanding behavior is the key to good management. Animal behavior and animal welfare science are fast becoming core topics in the curricula of agriculture and veterinary students. The eagerly awaited fourth edition of Farm Animal Behaviour and Welfare builds on the coverage of the previous edition, fully updating it to take into account developments over the last 10 years. This new edition covers companion animals, as well as farm animal species including farmed fish. It is an indispensible textbook covering the major and growing areas in agricultural and veterinary science and practice.

The Behaviour and Welfare of the Horse [OP]

Horses play a unique role in human activities, for both work and recreation. From the ranch to the racetrack, an understanding of their behavior and needs is vital for humans to ensure their well-being. Providing a comprehensive, scientific overview of horse behavior and its relation to welfare, this updated edition includes new developments in the understanding of the relationship between physiology and performance, and the neuro-chemical basis of stereotypic behavior. It is expanded to address the important topic of welfare from both a fundamental and practical viewpoint, and will serve as an essential resource for veterinarians, equine professionals and horse owners as well as students of veterinary and animal sciences.

Cats are one of the most popular pets around, but they are also wild animals. This book, focusing on behavior and well-being, looks at the feline genus as a whole and how our understanding of the domestic cat can help explain wild cat characteristics, and vice versa. Different behaviors are described to indicate what constitutes good welfare in the cat, while the origins of cat behaviour are discussed from an evolutionary basis. This book also covers current topics such as welfare issues with feral cats and human-cat interactions. Providing a veterinary perspective as well as an ethological one, this is an important read for veterinarians, shelter workers, animal behaviourists and students of veterinary medicine and animal welfare, while also being of interest to pet owners.
