Put away your prod: herd stock with less stress by understanding how they think (1994)

Kidd. R.

Abstract

Low-stress animal handling not only results in higher animal performance but also less stress and greater personal satisfaction for you. To reduce animal stress, you first have to understand how your animals think. You need to know how livestock perceive your presence and movements, and how they naturally respond. You need to understand the dynamics of what is called the 'flight' zone.
