About
Completely updated and revised, Farm Animal Behaviour 2nd Edition continues to provide essential information on normal and stereotypic behaviours in a wide variety of farm animals to help in the assessment and diagnosis of their health and welfare.
Comprehensive coverage of a range of farmed animals from: horses, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs through to domesticated poultry, deer, ostrich and many other species.
Innate, learned and social behaviours are described together with activity, vision and hearing to build a picture of normal behaviours presented in a clear and consistent way for each species.
Stereotypic behaviours, injuries and disease, resulting from improper management practices, are outlined in detail.
For the second edition:
*Professor Stefan Gunnarsson joins the author team and contributes his long-standing knowledge, clinical and scientific expertise.
*Many new snapshot photographs in full colour throughout have been added to further illustrate behaviours as they occur.
*New information on normal and stereotypic behaviours is included.
*The explosion in new research is captured with a wealth of new references and pointers for further reading.
*A consistent approach to each species allows for easy comparison.
Farm Animal Behaviour 2nd Edition provides a comprehensive yet concise background for all students, postgraduates and practitioners in veterinary medicine, animal science, welfare and ethology.
