Sexual behavior of farm animals
Abstract
The field of sexual behavior of domestic farm animals is discussed with emphasis on studies of cattle, sheep and goats. Descriptions are provided of behaviors related to the attractivity, proceptivity and receptivity of females, as well as environmental and physiological factors influencing both male and female sexual behavior. The organizational and activational actions of steroid hormones on behavior are also reviewed.
