Arthropod-induced stress in livestock.
Traditionally, arthropod-induced stress in livestock has been correlated with animal performance. Many of the early research trials were superimposed over animal science trials, which dictated the parameters of the research. This article discusses the multidiscipline approach that is needed to ensure recognition of factors other than insects that could enhance or decrease the apparent impact livestock insects might have on animal performance.
