Ever wonder what it would be
like to be dragged through the mud
by an irate cow? Or how it feels to
be flattened by a herd of angry
sheep?
Animal Science 310, the Behavior
and Management of Domestic Ani
mals, is a new course in the depart
ment of animal science at Texas
A&M University. The course objec
tive is to teach students to use the
natural behavior of livestock to in
crease profits in livestock oriented
businesses.
The course, taught by Dr. Ted
Friend, is growing in popularity —
partly because it is the only under
graduate course of its kind in the
United States.
Several tilings make this course
unique. Most research on animal
behavior is done from the biological
standpoint. But 310 approaches
animal behavior from the practical
standpoint, taking advantage of pre
dictable natural behavior and work
ing with the animal rather than
against it.
Lhilike many universities, Texas
A&M’s livestock centers let stu
dents get “hands on” experience.
This allows them to practice what
they have learned in the classroom.
The course also is unique because
it includes many breeds of animals.
There are several U.S. universities
conducting similar research, but
they generally restrict study to one
breed.
These 310 animal science students are contemplating how
much money they will make as they watch the stock dog herd
heifers during a recent lab demonstration. The couise. The

animal behavior from a practical standpoint. It is thei
undergraduate course of its kind in the United States
Because little research has been
done on applied behavior, few per
sons are qualified to teach such a
course. Friend, however, did
graduate work at Texas Tech Uni
versity on applied behavior of large
animals.
Friend said one of the difficulties
in planning the course is the lack of
literature on applied animal be
havior.
Providing guest speakers also has
been a problem and films on applied
animal behavior are as scarce as
books.
Friend plans to use videotape
equipment in the future to record
specific behavioral patterns.
Another problem is the number
of students taking the course in rela
tion to the number of animals avail
able for their use, Friend said. He
considers a class size of about 30
good for a course of this type, but
class enrollment doubled after one
semester.
