Abstract
Domesticated animals can adjust to the effects of modern production practices by employing neural and hormonal response mechanisms. Such mechanisms may have biological costs that appear as reduced growth or productivity and a decline in antibody activity. However, there exists within most domestic species genetic variation for adaptivity so that selection for reduced responsiveness to physical and behavioral stressors is possible.
