The Encyclopedia of Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare
Book (italiano):
Welfare research has established a range of scientific indicators of stress, welfare and suffering in animals that can be applied to all aspects of improving their welfare through good housing and management, and the topic continues to grow in importance among both professionals and the public.<BR><BR>Under a team of expert subject editors led by Professor Daniel Mills, the UK's first specialist in veterinary behavioural medicine, over 180 international experts from all areas of the field have contributed a wealth of fully cross-referenced entries ranging from concise definitions to detailed short essays. Biological, practical, clinical and ethical aspects of behaviour and welfare are described in domestic, exotic, companion, laboratory, zoo and wild animals, including human-animal interactions, animal rights and stereotypic behaviours.<BR><BR>The practical focus of this authoritative, comprehensive encyclopedia promotes the understanding and improvement of animals' behaviour without compromising welfare. It will be an essential resource for practising veterinarians, researchers and students in zoology and ethology, and for all those working with and interested in animals and their welfare.
