Synopsis

This text reproduces the proceedings of the 46th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology. The bulk of the text is composed of lengthy summaries from the well over a hundred panels, workshops and other papers presented. The focus of this conference was on quality of life issues in designed environments, and in terms of ethology this means how animals fare in environments or else under conditions created by people. They consider behavioral development, temperament, intra- and inter-species relationships, behavioral methods, environment and welfare, positive emotions, cognition and emotion, mutilations, behavioral indicators of welfare, and more. Most of them are interested in livestock and other animals that humans use. The contributors are ethnologists and biologists from around the world. The beginning of the text includes the schedule of the conference, maps of the site and airport, and corporate sponsorship acknowledgements. The index is only of names.
