Many factors are responsible for the loss of weight or "shrink" of calves, feeder and slaughter cattle during marketing. As shrinkage increases, the potential for improving net returns from calves, feeders and fed cattle decreases. Shrinkage directly affects the income of all cattle producers. Shrinkage can be reduced through better handling techniques, attention to environment and diet, market planning and an appreciation of animal psychology. This module discusses how shrinkage effects net return and how producers can reduce losses from shrinkage. 1, record 3, English, - slaughter%20cattle

An alternative to introspection and Watsonian behaviorism was Gestalt psychology in which thought was seen as an organizational process by which a problem was reorganized or solved. Solfgang Köehler's use of the "Unweg" or detour problem is an example. In it, an animal or child must secure a desirable object by taking an indirect route, the direct route having been blocked. 1, record 4, English, - detour%20problem
