Animal Behavior
Usually found at the shoulder, perpendicular to the length of the body
A forceful behavior that is angry and destructive. Behavior intended to be injurious, physically or emotionally. Behavior is aimed at showing dominance to other animals
Arched back, Lowered head, Shaking head back and forth, Flexed neck, Protruding eyeballs, Hair may stand up along his back
Skin infections, Allergic reactions, Deep tissue wounds that require surgery
Wood chewing, cribbing, stall kicking, biting, butting, coprophagy
Any activity judges to be outside the normal behavior pattern for animals (ex.. Vices or illnesses)
Wash your skin with soap and water immediately, report injury to your supervisor, and call your doctor
1. Reduce human injuries 2. Reduce economic losses due to injury, bruising. 3. Reduce stress and pain which might cause a reduction in performance and adversely affect reproduction and the immune system
Start by slowly approaching the cow's pressure zone, Give a cow time and space to react to you, Walk at a speed that keeps you out of their flight zone, The angle you approach then will influence the direction they move
Baring teeth, stiffening ears, staring eyes, curled lips, snarling
1. Don't turn back and run. 2. Avoid direct eye contact. 3. Remain motionless with you hands on your sides, don't reach out to them. Allow them to sniff you. 4. If knocked to the ground, curl into a ball
Shoulders hunched, Neck curved to the side (toward the target), Pawing with the forefeet, Sending dirt flying behind or over the back, Rubbing or horning the ground, Snorting, May flick or raise
Over 80% of farm workers have accidentally stuck themselves, Vaccines are the most common type of drug involved in needlestick injuries
Don't turn and run, Keep eyes on them, frontal stance (make yourself look as big as possible, stand erect with arms up). Back away from flight zone
Scientific study of animal behavior
Drooping ears, Lethargy, Isolation, Little interest in feed and water, dehydration
Isolation causes a lot of stress, avoid isolation unless they are accustomed to it. 2. Livestock have wide angle vision 3. Many have a blind spot right behind them 4. Most have poor depth perception when in motion 5. Flight Zone
Imaginary zone around the animal which defines it's personal space. When a human moves into it the animal will move away. The size of the zone depends on the type of animal
Be Patient, consider the Angle of your approach, think about your Location relative to the cow, slow the Speed of your movements

Any activity judges to be outside the normal behavior pattern for animals (ex.. Vices or illnesses)
Wash your skin with soap and water immediately, report injury to your supervisor, and call your doctor
1. Reduce human injuries 2. Reduce economic losses due to injury, bruising. 3. Reduce stress and pain which might cause a reduction in performance and adversely affect reproduction and the immune system
Start by slowly approaching the cow's pressure zone, Give a cow time and space to react to you, Walk at a speed that keeps you out of their flight zone, The angle you approach then will influence the direction they move
Baring teeth, stiffening ears, staring eyes, curled lips, snarling
1. Don't turn back and run. 2. Avoid direct eye contact. 3. Remain motionless with you hands on your sides, don't reach out to them. Allow them to sniff you. 4. If knocked to the ground, curl into a ball
Shoulders hunched, Neck curved to the side (toward the target), Pawing with the forefeet, Sending dirt flying behind or over the back, Rubbing or horning the ground, Snorting, May flick or raise

Be Patient, consider the Angle of your approach, think about your Location relative to the cow, slow the Speed of your movements
