Animal behavior notes may cut input costs for farmers
Livestock experts discuss how understanding preferences and physiology can reduce costs. Spraying scents like valeric acid before mixing pigs might curb fighting. Pens should maximize perimeter area with triangle or circular designs. Curved chutes aid cattle handling. Weather shifts trigger hog tail biting. Goats’ behavior is used as a friendlier weather predictor in Roseburg Oregon with goats outperforming the Weather Service in a two week period.
