Abstract
The care and livestock management requires knowledge of the behavioral reactivity of the kept species. Domestic ungulates have evolved as prey, so their survival in the wild depended on early detection of a potential threat and then taking a quick response. There are numerous studies into antipredatory behavior concerning a wide range of animal taxa. They predominantly focus on conflict between innate and acquired predator recognition and the influence of various factors on the retain or gradual loss of defense mechanisms against predators. The authors of multiple studies suggest the practical use of research results in areas such as medicine, agriculture and conservancy. The promising effects of these experiments should encourage the research development in this field among farm animals. The aim of the article is to introduce the research findings of antipredatory behavior and to determine their implications in farm animals breeding.
