Domestic Animal Behaviour and Welfare

Domestic Animal Behaviour and Welfare by Donald Broom

Behaviour is a significant indicator of health in animals and understanding behaviour is the key to good management. Animal behaviour and animal welfare science are fast becoming core topics in the curriclua of agriculture and veterinary students. The eagerly awaited fourth edition of Farm Animal Behaviour and Welfare builds on the coverage of the previous edition, fully updating it to take into account developments over the last 10 years. This new edition covers companion animals as well as farm animal species including farmed fish. It is an indispensible textbook covering the major and growing areas in agricultural and veterinary science and practice.

"Some books about animal behaviour are a source of inspiration, others are a source of information and a happy few manage to be bothFarm Animal Behaviour and Welfare, by Andrew Fraser and Donald Broom, falls fairly and squarely into the second category". - Marion Stamp Dawkins, Animal Behaviour "This seminal book should remain the first point of call for information on and insight into two subjects that are vitally important to every veterinarian." - D B Adams, Australian Veterinary Journal"
