Social Behavior in Farm Animals

An understanding of social behavior is increasingly necessary in farm animal husbandry as more animals are housed in groups rather than in individual stalls or pens. There may be economic or welfare reasons for such housing. This book is the first to specifically address this important subject. The chapters fall into three broad subject areas: concepts in social behavior; species specific chapters; current issues. Authors include leading experts from Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.Keeling, L. J. is the author of 'Social Behavior in Farm Animals' with ISBN 9780851993973 and ISBN 0851993974.
