Human–Livestock Interactions: The Stockperson and the Productivity and Welfare of Intensively Farmed Animals (Second Edition)
Human–livestock interactions are the topic of this book because there is an ever-increasing body of evidence which demonstrates that these interactions may result in profound behavioural and physiological changes in the animal, with consequences on the animal’s performance and welfare. Further...

| description |
Human–livestock interactions are the topic of this book because there is an
ever-increasing body of evidence which demonstrates that these interactions
may result in profound behavioural and physiological changes in the animal, with
consequences on the animal’s performance and welfare. Furthermore, these inter-
actions may also infl uence the stockperson to the extent that job-related character-
istics, such as job satisfaction, motivation and commitment, may be affected with
implications for the job performance and career prospects of the stockperson.
When we wrote the fi rst edition in 1998, there was an emerging appreciation
of the infl uence of the stockperson on the productivity of livestock. Our studies
and those by M.F. Seabrook in the late 1970s and early 1980s on the implica-
tions of human–animal interactions for farm animals and studies by W.B. Gross
and P.B. Siegel on the implications of human–animal interactions on experimen-
tal animals at a similar time demonstrated the effects of handling on animal
behaviour, physiology and productivity. These early studies stimulated subse-
quent research in the 1980s and 1990s on the human characteristics respon-
sible for these effects. However, progress in understanding these relationships in
livestock production was relatively slow at this time compared with other devel-
opments in the fi eld of animal science. The study of stockperson characteristics
in livestock production creates a number of problems that are generally not
encountered when studying other more traditional areas of livestock production.
Stockperson characteristics are not as amenable to study as other factors such as
nutrition, housing, genetics, etc., because of our limited ability to: (i) manipulate
individual characteristics; (ii) control others not under direct study; and (iii) study
humans in commercial situations. These problems were exacerbated by the lack
of interest shown by psychologists in this important area. |
