Livestock behavior is an elective course for students of animal science related major in agricultural colleges and universities, which mainly introduces the basic concepts of behavior, the physiological basis of behavior, the common behavior characteristics of animal, generation mechanism of animal behavior and guiding significance in production. However, with the development of this subject, the content of the course becomes disjointed with livestock production. Livestock behavior which is based on the simple introduction of animal behavior has been unable to meet the needs of the college students′knowledge system in the new situation. On the basis of analyzing the present situation and existing problems of the course teaching, combined with the teaching practice in recent years, we re-organized teaching content for production practice, more newly achievements on livestock behavior and behavior related welfare evaluation had been added; On the teaching method, introduction part of the course was optimized, teaching with"group task type"and"teaching mode based on the network environment". After practice, the teaching effect is obviously improved, and the professional ideas of the animal science students have been strengthened.%《家畜行为学》是农业院校动物科学相关专业的一门选修课，主要介绍行为学的基本概念，行为的生理学基础，动物的常见行为特征、产生机制及其在生产实际中的意义。但随着学科的发展，原本基于动物各种行为简单介绍的《家畜行为学》，其教学内容与畜牧生产的需求出现脱节，已经不能满足新形势下动物科学专业大学生知识体系的需求及对生产实际的指导作用。在分析该课程教学现状和存在问题的基础上，结合近年来的教学实践，在教学内容上，以指导生产为目标重新整理教学内容，增加国内外畜禽行为的最新研究成果，以及与畜禽行为直接相关的福利水平评价相关知识；在教学方式上，优化课程导入环节，以“小组任务式”和“基于网络环境下的教学模式”开展教学。实践证明，教学效果显著。
