Description

This work covers behaviour, genetics, physiology and motivation, and social and reproductive behaviours, with separate chapters on the behaviour of individual farm animal species and on dogs and cats, rabbits and rodents. This authoritative textbook fetatures contributing authors from the UK, USA, Canada and Scandinavia and fills a gap in the market for a concise, introductory text. This book provides a basic, introductory text on the behaviour of domestic animals, a subject that is now taught to a wide range of students of veterinary medicine, animal science and biology. It also provides an overview of the subject for practising veterinarians and advisers.
