摘要：

Ways are suggested in which both classical and instrumental conditioning could be more widely used in farm animal management to decrease labour-time and/or increase productivity. One method of using auditory conditioning in cattle is described. The cattle learned to respond to the sound of an alarm within seven trials and move to the milking byre, but animals differed in responsiveness. An estimate of an hour a day of stockman's time was saved by the use of such a system. © 1978.
