- A preliminary model of human–animal relationships in the zoo (2008, background): “These are all part of the day-to-day interactions with the stockperson, and stockpeople show differences, which are related to their attitudes and personality, in whether their interactions are predominantly positive or negative (Waiblinger et al., 2002).”
- Assessing the human-animal relationship in farmed species: a critical review (2006, background): “…personality characteristics (aggressiveness, agreeableness, self-confidence, etc.) were correlated with their management, interactions with the animals, and animal productivity (Seabrook, 1972, 1995; Seabrook and Darroch, 1990; Waiblinger, 1996; Waiblinger and Menke, 1999; Waiblinger et al., 2002).”
- Sources of stress in captivity (2007, background): “And milk yield is lower on dairy farms where handler attitudes towards the animals are negative and behaviors of handlers directed towards the cattle are more aggressive (Waiblinger et al., 2002).”
- Costs and Benefits of Improving Farm Animal Welfare (2021, background): “Furthermore, it has been shown that dairy farms that handle cows in negative or neutral ways produce less milk [76], whereas positive handling of calves has been correlated with higher feed conversion efficiency and growth rates [35,77].”
- Farmer attitude toward improvement of animal welfare is correlated with piglet production parameters (2012, background): “Previous research showed that positive farmer perceptions of animal cognitive and emotional skills are associated with a more positive and empathic behavior toward animals (Lensink et al., 2001; Waiblinger et al., 2002), higher productivity (Bertenshaw and Rowlinson, 2009; Hemsworth et al.”
