stress in animals

Stress in animals is the body's response to a perceived threat or challenge, which can be caused by various factors such as environmental changes, predators, competition for resources, or handling by humans. Stress can affect animals physically, emotionally, and behaviorally, leading to potential health problems, decreased performance, and altered social interactions. It is important for animal caregivers to recognize signs of stress and implement strategies to manage and reduce it in order to promote the well-being and welfare of the animals.
