Different aspects of handling and the impact of human-handling on dairy animals

Abstract

Professional animal handling necessitates a thorough understanding of animal
behaviour. Satisfactory knowledge of an animal's behaviour in a circumstance can benefit
both the handler and the animal, which is a prerequisite for the smooth conduct of routine
farm activities. Improper animal handling causes a stressed condition in the animal, limiting
its performance. The amount and kind of interaction with people, as well as the quality of the
animal's handling, are significant determinants in animal handling. Adequate animal handling
skills may enhance handler safety, reduce labour requirement, raise productivity,
reproductive performance, and encourage overall animal welfare.
