Farm Animal Behaviour and Welfare [Paperback]

A. F. Fraser (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1996 | ISBN-10: 0851991602 | ISBN-13: 978-0851991603 | Edition: 3

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
