In livestock veterinary science, understanding herd behavior (flight zones, point of balance) is crucial for low-stress handling. Pioneered by experts like Dr. Temple Grandin, utilizing behavioral principles to design slaughterhouses and cattle chutes minimizes panic. This reduces injuries to both handlers and animals and significantly improves meat quality by preventing stress-induced hormone surges before slaughter. 6.
