Abstract

Cam MA, Kirikci K and Garipoglu AV

Since human beings are on earth, they have become intimate with animals. As in humans, animals can respond to various events, either with their inherited forms of reaction or with responses to their experiences which they attained via their learning capabilities. Knowing the animal behaviours is of importance for animal welfare and farm economy. The farm animals, which are raised for meat, milk, fleece and egg production, respond to stress factors with instinctive reactions. The number of behaviours which animals had by learning is low. In this review, it was tried to emphasize the importance of the reactions that animals give against various events they are exposed to. A review of recent literature on livestock animals behavior will help to understand how production systems and behavior are interreacted.
