About

Farm animals can often be stressed by exposure to physical and psychological factors throughout their lifetime. Being prey animals they tend to hide their stress responses so it can be challenging to determine the levels of underlying stress in apparently healthy animals. It is important to apply a suite of behavioral, physiological biomarkers, health and morphometric indices to quantify physiological stress levels in farm animals.

This Research Topic welcomes research papers which demonstrate the applications of minimally invasive methods/tools for assessing stress in farm animals in an objective manner. The goal is to provide an updated collection of research works, reviews and perspective articles that highlight the current techniques available to quantify and distinguish between acute and chronic stress in farm animals and if/how these tools could become available to livestock producers to strengthen farm animal management, welfare and production.
