In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the topic of farm animal behavior. This is partly an academic interest for behavioral and animal scientists, but also stems from the more practical aspects of the subject as it relates to animal welfare, particularly now in light of the relationship between animal well-being and health and production. This book provides a thorough review of our knowledge of cattle behavior and how it can help to improve the care, management, and well-being of cattle. Examples are drawn from around the world, and while there is some emphasis on dairy cattle, mention is made of beef, dual-purpose or draught cattle where appropriate. All key topics, such as social, reproductive and feeding behavior are covered with thorough reviews of the research literature. The book is a valuable work for advanced students and research workers in animal, dairy, and veterinary sciences, as well as applied ethology.
