ISBN: 9780851993591
Pages: 384
Format: 17 Χ 25
Binding: Hardback
Pub. Year: 2000
Readership
Researchers in animal science, veterinary medicine, zoology, applied ethology/psychology.
Key Features
• Comprehensive coverage, including zoo and laboratory animals, as well as farm animals.
• Contributors include leading authorities from North America, Europe and Australia.
Main Description
The subjects of stress and animal welfare are currently attracting immense interest. This book brings together a range of perspectives from biomedical research (including human health and animal models of human stress) on stress and welfare, and assesses new approaches to conceptualising and alleviating stress.
