Beyond companion animals, the synthesis of behavior and veterinary science is critical in zoological medicine, agriculture, and conservation. In livestock, recognizing natural herd behaviors and social hierarchies is essential for minimizing stress and maximizing productivity. In zoological settings, understanding the ethology of captive wildlife is crucial for designing enclosures that promote natural foraging behaviors and reduce stereotypies (repetitive, purposeless movements indicative of poor welfare).
