Cattle handling specialist and Assistant Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. Dr. Grandin designs handling facitilites and works with livestock producers to use behavioral principles to reduce stress on cattle during handling.
In this 50 minute video lecture, Cattle Handling Principles to Reduce Stress, Dr. Grandin shares many of her successful cattle handling techniques.
You will learn:
• how to identify & remove distractions in your facility which make cattle balk.
• basic principles of using the animal’s flight zone and point of balance during handling.
• why curved chutes are more efficient and how to lay them out.
• the use of solid sides on squeeze chutes to keep cattle calmer.
• basic ways to reduce stress.
• easy to understand low stress cattle movement principles.
• temperment selection in cattle.
Dr. Grandin is a designer of livestock handling facilities and a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. Facilities she has designed are located in the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries. In North America, almost half of the cattle are handled in a center track restrainer system that she designed for meat plants. Curved chute and race systems she has designed for cattle are used worldwide and her writings on the flight zone and other principles of grazing animal behavior have helped many people to reduce stress on thier animals during handling.
She has also developed an objective scoring system for assessing handling of cattle and pigs at meat plants. This scoring system is being used by many large corporations to improve animal welfare. Other areas of research are: cattle temperament, environmental enrichment for pigs, reducing dark cutters and bruises, bull fertility, training procedures, and effective stunning methods for cattle and pigs at meat plants.
She obtained her B.A. at Frankin Pierce College and her M.S. in Animal Science at Arizona State University. Dr. Grandin received her Ph.D in Animal Science from the University of Illinois in 1989. Today she teaches courses on livestock behaviour and facility design at Colorado State Univeristy and consults with the livestock industry on facility design, livestock handling, and animal welfare. She has appeared on television shows such as 20/20, 48 Hours, CNN Larry King Live, PrimeTime Live, the Today Show, and many shows in other countries. She has been featured in People Magazine, the New York Times, Forbes, U.S. News and World Report, Time Magazine, the New York Times book review, and Discover magazine. Interviews with Dr. Grandin have been broadcast on National Public Radio. She has also authored over 300 articles in both scientific journals and livestock periodicals on animal handling, welfare, and facility design.
