Description

Livestock Behaviour: A Practical Guide by Ronald Kilgour and Clive Dalton. 'This book for stockmen and agricultural and veterinary students concentrates on what is of practical use in livestock farming. The scientific principles are explained, followed by separate chapters describing the behaviour of cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, goats, deer, horses and dogs. Special attention is paid to birth, rearing, sexual development, reproduction and special aspects of production such as milking, intensive fattening, housing, stress and training. A realistic and practical approach is adopted to the issues of animal welfare and stress in farm animals. The book shows clearly how an understanding of animal behaviour can be used not only to improve the welfare of farm animals, but also the economic return form livestock production.' The book has light general wear with some foxing and age stains down the page edges- but the book remains tight and bright.
