Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The twentieth century has seen great progress in understanding animal genetics, reproduction, nutrition, health and housing, but little attention has been paid to the effects on livestock of the stockperson-animal relationship. Current research, however, has underscored the importance this
aspect of animal husbandry. Accessible to anyone interested in the field, this unique book summarizes recent behavioral theories and results concerning human-animal interactions and their implications for agriculture. The book demonstrates that staff training and selection programs for managing
these interactions can significantly improve productivity and animal welfare, and it aims to stimulate interest amongst researchers and increase awareness amongst industry staff. The book is essential reading for researchers in animal production, applied psychologists, ethologists, veterinary
scientists and animal welfare professionals, and farm managers responsible for selecting and training staff. It will also will be a valuable source of material for lecturers and students of animal science, psychology and veterinary science.
