Animal Ethology: Its Emergence in Animal Science

Stanley E. Curtis1 and Katherine A. Houpt2

University of Illinois, Urbana 61801 and Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853

Abstract

Ethology - the study of animal behavior - became a full-fledged part of animal science during the past 25 yr. Evidence of increased research activities and teaching resources in this area is given, yet it is recognized that these generally have been fragmented and that there remain many large gaps in understanding and application of ethological principles by animal scientists and animal producers. In this paper, attention is focused on a few selected areas of recent or current ethological research in an attempt to demonstrate both the breadth of inquiry as well as the potential for ultimate application of resultant information to animal management. Areas of future interest are also discussed.

Key Words: Ethology • Cattle • Swine • Sheep • Poultry
