ANIMAL SCIENCE REVIEWER

 Role of animals
- Food
- Clothing
- Plowing and Transport
- Recreation
 Non-food products
- Glue from horns
- Fertilizer

 Intensive Management – environmental conditions are highly controlled. (Many

environmental conditions are changed to fit the animals)
 Extensive Management- less producer control over the environmental conditions in
which animals are expected to produce. (Animals are changed to fit the environment.)

 Animal responses affected by environmental Stressors.

Ingestive behavior Increase of water intake, decrease of

forage/fiver intake, and increase of electrolyte
and other mineral needs.

Biological parameters Increase of body temperature and respiration

rate, altered heart rate and blood flow,
changes in hormone levels and blood
composition, altered digestive motility and
fermentation, increase of susceptibility to
disease, and changes in urinary secretion.
Reproductive efficiency Decrease of sexual activity and intensity of
activity, decrease of ovary and sperm quality,
changes in uterine environment and cycle
length, and fertilization and embryonic
survival.
Productivity Decrease of milk production, poor growth of
young, poor body condition, and lower
quantity and quality of wool or eggs.
Behavior Aggressiveness or aversiveness, feeding
pattern, social order/displacement,
isolation/crowding, and vocalization
