Download or read book Genetics and the Behavior of Domestic Animals written by Temple Grandin and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavior is shaped by both genetics and experience--nature and nurture. This book synthesizes research from behavioral genetics and animal and veterinary science, bridging the gap between these fields. The objective is to show that principles of behavioral genetics have practical applications to agricultural and companion animals. The continuing domestication of animals is a complex process whose myriad impacts on animal behavior are commonly under-appreciated. Genetic factors play a significant role in both species-specific behaviors and behavioral differences exhibited by individuals in the same species. Leading authorities explore the impact of increased intensities of selection on domestic animal behavior. Rodents, cattle, pigs, sheep, horses, herding and guard dogs, and poultry are all included in these discussions of genetics and behavior, making this book useful to veterinarians, livestock producers, laboratory animal researchers and technicians, animal trainers and breeders, and any researcher interested in animal behavior. Includes four new chapters on dog and fox behavior, pig behavior, the effects of domestication and horse behavior Synthesizes research from behavioral genetics, animal science, and veterinary literature Broaches fields of behavior genetics and behavioral research Includes practical applications of principles discovered by behavioral genetics researchers Covers many species ranging from pigs, dogs, foxes, rodents, cattle, horses, and cats

Download or read book Domestic Animals Humans and Leisure written by Janette Young and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic animals are an integral component of human leisure experience and can enhance the physical, social, and mental wellbeing of humans. The interplay of human and animal experiences of justice, wellbeing, rights, and roles within leisure is the central theme of this book. Research explores the position of domesticated animals in human leisure experiences, in a wide array of leisure settings. Chapters question whether domestic animals may have a desire for leisure that is different from human leisure, whether animals have and wish to fulfil needs for meaningful leisure or non-leisure, and whether human leisure needs and desires may coincide or contradict wellbeing interests of animals. This book provides a venue for the dissemination and exploration of research, which champions the welfare and rights of these animals to have their needs and interests in leisure recognised. It moves the debate about animals in leisure beyond the current limits which have seen research mainly confined to the exotic ‘other’ rather than more mundane, everyday domestic animals. This book will be of interest to individuals in the fields of tourism ethics, zoology, animal behaviour, and leisure studies.

Download or read book Our Domestic Animals written by Gos de Voogt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Domestic Animals: Their Habits, Intelligence and Usefulness Our many domestic animals have played an important role in the civilization of man. Without them - especially the dog, the horse, the cow, and the sheep - man's development onward and upward would have been slow and uncertain. Those countries in which the problem of domestication did not enter remained ever near to barbarism, never progressing beyond a certain limit. The American red man, brave, cunning, persevering, could not overstep the boundaries that limited his civilization, because he had no animal that he might domesticate, and no beast of burden to aid him in doing certain kinds of fatiguing work. This book is concerned with these helpers of civilization. It is to teach something about their value to man, so that they may receive more appreciative attention and more kindly consideration from the resident of the city and of the country, that this book appears. For many photographs that are reproduced on the following pages grateful appreciation is expressed to Mr. John F. Cunningham, Cleveland, Ohio; to Mr. Joseph E. Wing, Mechanicsburg, Ohio; and to the Ohio Farmer, Cleveland, Ohio. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
