It is an indispensable textbook covering the major and growing areas in agricultural and veterinary science and practice.

Reviews

"Some books about animal behaviour are a source of inspiration, others are a source of information and a happy few manage to be both. Farm Animal Behaviour and Welfare, by Andrew Fraser and Donald Broom, falls fairly and squarely into the second category". - Marion Stamp Dawkins, Animal Behaviour "This seminal book should remain the first point of call for information on and insight into two subjects that are vitally important to every veterinarian." - D B Adams, Australian Veterinary Journal"
