Book Description
The aim of this accessible text/reference book is to enable the reader to identify quickly different types of domestic animal behavior, covering all the common species, dogs, cats, horses, pigs, cattle, sheep and goats. It presents practical, problem-solving information, and the basic science underpinning it. The new edition recognizes recent scientific advances, particularly in communication, perception and cognition, and in clinical behavior. The author gives full consideration to the effects of domestication on each species and the book is organized by common types of behaviour for each animal throughout its lifecycle, including the physiological basis and development for different types of behavior. Problem situations and abnormal behavior for each animal species are also covered, together with recommended treatments. A useful glossary of medical terms is provided and there are 82 drawings, 12 halftone illustrations and 10 tables depicting anatomy and behavior.
