Considerable efforthasbeenspenttodetermineifvariousmanagementpractisesorcondi- tionsinducestress,resultinginthecommonlyheldbeliefthatanysituation that results in stress should be avoided or prohibited. But because animals have evolved sophisticated behavioural and physiological mechanisms to deal with stress, stress jeopardizes the animal’s welfare only if the stress results in some significant biological change that places that animal’s well-being at risk. Unfortunately, many of the classical behavioural and physiological measures used to evaluate stress do not tell us if such meaningful biological changes have occurred, and thus the links between animal welfare and stress are still unclear. In1983,amajorconferenceonanimalstresswasheldattheUniversity of California, Davis. By 1998 it seemed timely to get people together to readdress this topic. Although much had been learned in the interim, there were still many controversial and difficult areas, as well as new considerations and approaches to be discussed. The current volume is an outgrowthofthat1998conferenceatDavisintendedtoexplorethebiology of animal stress and its implications for animal welfare. Our goals in selecting speakers were to draw people from different disciplines working with a variety of vertebrate species in contexts ranging from farms to laboratories to zoos. The chapters in this volume similarly reflectthisdiversity.Thefirstfivechapterspresentsummariesofthephysio- logical,immunological,andbehaviouralresponsestostressinanimals.The xi 11 Z:\Customer\CABI\A3708 - Moberg - Animal Stress\A3708 - Moberg - Biology of Animal Stress #F.vp 03 May 2000 09:57:06 AMA:A3796:DA:First Proof:3-May-00 Contents
