Summary

Although all research concerned with behavioural physiology in farm animals is of possible relevance to welfare problems, only those aspects which are of direct importance to welfare are examined in detail in this report. Three areas of research in the behavioural physiology of farm animals are considered to be of direct relevance to farm animal welfare and to require further study.
