Advances in Cattle Welfare

Advances in Cattle Welfare provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary issues in dairy and beef cattle welfare research. The volume takes a novel approach, with the animal’s perspective in mind when, for instance, considering housing systems or feeding practices. Opening with an overview of cattle production systems, the book covers the three major areas of cattle welfare research: on-farm welfare assessment, behavioral priorities of cattle and novel perspectives on current production issues. Chapters examine the key issues within each area.
