The book provides a thorough and critical review of the most up-to-date research on the welfare of cattle, covering behaviour, nutrition and feeding, housing and management, stockmanship, and stress physiology, as well as transport and slaughter. It provides a detailed and critical analysis of the main indicators of animal welfare and covers the main threats to animal welfare in modern cattle production systems. Although the focus is largely on cattle in developed countries, this book should also be of relevance in developing countries, where issues affecting the welfare of domestic animals are beginning to be addressed. The book is intended for researchers and research students in veterinary and animal science and animal welfare science, as well as professionals in the beef and dairy industries. 0aLIFE SCIENCES. 0aVETERINARY MEDICINE. 0aANIMAL BEHAVIOR. 0aZOOLOGY. 0aANIMAL GENETICS. 0aANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY.14aLIFE SCIENCES.24aZOOLOGY.24aANIMAL GENETICS AND GENOMICS.24aANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY.24aBEHAVIOURAL SCIENCES.24aVETERINARY MEDICINE.1 aPassillé, Anne Marie.eauthor.1 aKeyserlingk, Marina A.
