Understand and apply key concepts of animal behavior in veterinary practice Animal behavior is a critical aspect of veterinary medicine, often underappreciated despite its pervasiveness throughout the field. Understanding animal behavior can facilitate communication with patients, refine diagnoses and indications of ill health, and aid in processes of learning and socialization.

Understand and apply key concepts of animal behavior in veterinary practice Animal behavior is a critical aspect of veterinary medicine, often underappreciated despite its pervasiveness throughout the field. Understanding animal behavior can facilitate communication with patients, refine diagnoses and indications of ill health, and aid in processes of learning and socialization. Introduction to Animal Behavior and Veterinary Behavioral Medicine offers a comprehensive overview of the key concepts underlying the behavior of multiple animal species before demonstrating how to apply these concepts clinically. The result is an indispensable resource for veterinary students and practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of patient needs. Introduction to Animal Behavior and Veterinary Behavioral Medicine readers will also find: * Comprehensive coverage of companion animal behavior and additional coverage of livestock and wild animal behavior * Detailed discussion of topics including social development, animal learning, and applied behavior analysis * In depth review of diagnosis and treatment strategies for common behavior disorders in companion animals, extending to various additional species * Companion website with videos, handouts for downloading, and links to pertinent scientific articles and informative websites Introduction to Animal Behavior and Veterinary Behavioral Medicine is ideal preparation for veterinary medical students as part of "day one readiness" in their professional careers, as well as veterinary practitioners looking for a solid foundation in animal behavior and the treatment of key issues.

Inhaltsangabe
I. Introduction to animal behavior and handling concepts
1. Introduction - Authored by Meghan E. Herron, DVM, DACVB
An overview of animal behavior and how it applies to veterinary medicine What shapes behavior in animals? Genetics Early environmental experiences Health status Approaches to studying behavior in animals Ethological Experiential Physiological Why is behavior relevant to veterinary medicine? Production Animals - What behavior tells us about estrus, health status and welfare Pet Industry - Behavior shapes the human-animal bond Wild Animals in Captivity - How behavior is the key to welfare and successful health management in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries Clinical Veterinary Medicine - Behavioral indicators of disease and safe animal handling
2. The Process of Domestication
How behavior shaped today's companion and livestock species Learn the lingo Domesticated vs. feral Wild vs. tamed Natural vs. artificial selection Traits that favor domestication - What physical and behavioral attributes made certain species more favorable for domestication and why? The evolution of each domestic species Domestication of dogs (Canis familiaris) - the greatest change in history and the role of neoteny Domestication of cats (Felis catus) - how little has changed throughout history Domestication of horses (Equus caballus) - how we had it wrong for so long Domestication of livestock animals - chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus), cattle (Bos taurus and Bos indicus - three main factors shaped today's cattle), pigs and sheep
3. Social Behavior
What are the benefits of group vs. solitary living? Pairs, packs, matriarchal groups and natal bands Social space, individual space and flight zones - how each is relevant to group housing Social facilitation Maternal behavior - the first social experience Social hierarchies - What they are and why they are beneficial in group living, as well as their clinical relevance for farmers and veterinarians Linear hierarchies - where the "pecking order" came from Triangular, despotic and complex hierarchies Aggression - what is aggression, what is its purpose, when is it normal? Learn the lingo Aggression Agonistic behavior Affiliative behavior Submission Avoidance
4. Sensory and Perception
Vision Color vision Monocular vs. binocular vision - benefit for predator vs. prey species Hearing Ranges if each species - how and why this evolved Pinnae - the effects of size, shape and distance in between Olfactory Scents Pheromones Taste Variance between species Food aversion development
5. Animal Learning
Associative Learning Classical Conditioning What is Pavlovian conditioning and how does it apply to companion animals? The use of classical counter-conditioning in everyday practice and in prescribed therapies Operant Conditioning The "four quadrants" - how they work and how they are applied Positive reinforcement Negative reinforcement Positive punishment Negative punishment Reinforcement Schedules - what they are and how they are applied Non-associative learning Sensitization vs habituation The use of desensitization and counter-conditioning in behavior modification of companion animals - putting it all together
6. The development of behavior and the shaping of the human-animal bond in companion animals: dogs How early development shapes adult behavior, socialization vs. imprinting, setting up for success in dogs.
7. The development of behavior and the shaping of the human-animal bond in companion animals: cats How early development shapes adult behavior, socialization vs. imprinting, setting up for success in cats.
