Abstract：
In this narrative review, the authors summarise the relationship between stress and behaviour and how dairy cattle cope with stressors. Based on the available literature, the most common stressors in intensive dairy cattle farming, such as pain, disease, heat stress, poor comfort caused by technology, and social stress, are surveyed. The authors describe how these stressors modify the behaviour of dairy cattle, influencing their feeding patterns, social interactions, and overall well-being. Additionally, the review explores the effectiveness of various coping mechanisms employed by dairy cattle to mitigate stress, including physiological adaptations and behavioural responses. This review is a valuable resource for understanding and grading stress in dairy cattle through behavioural reactions. Elucidating the intricate interplay between stressors and behaviour offers insights into potential interventions to improve animal welfare and productivity in dairy farming. Furthermore, this review highlights areas for future research, suggesting avenues for more comprehensive behavioural studies to enhance our understanding of stress management strategies in dairy cattle.
摘要：
在这篇叙述性评论中，作者总结了压力与行为之间的关系以及奶牛如何应对压力源。根据现有文献，集约化奶牛养殖中最常见的压力源，如疼痛，疾病,热应力,技术造成的舒适性差，和社会压力，被调查。作者描述了这些压力源如何改变奶牛的行为，影响他们的喂养方式，社交互动,和整体福祉。此外,这篇综述探讨了奶牛缓解压力的各种应对机制的有效性，包括生理适应和行为反应。这篇综述是通过行为反应理解和分级奶牛应激的宝贵资源。阐明压力源和行为之间复杂的相互作用，可以洞悉潜在的干预措施，以改善奶牛养殖中的动物福利和生产力。此外，这篇综述强调了未来研究的领域，为更全面的行为研究提供途径，以增强我们对奶牛压力管理策略的理解。
