The welfare, physiology, and behavior of livestock species have all been significantly impacted by domestication. However, different types of stress have also been introduced by the domestication process, and this can have a substantial impact on animals' health. The consequence of domestication distress on animals is explored in this paper, with particular attention to how it affects behavioral responses and general welfare. Changes in social structures, environmental conditions, and management techniques are some of the causes that lead to domestication stress, which can lead to behavioral disorders, decreased productivity and weakened health. We look at the physiological processes that underlie stress from domestication, including as changes in immunological response, stress hormone levels and coping mechanisms. The review also emphasizes the behavioral alterations seen in domesticated animals, including odd repetitive behaviors, aggressiveness, and changed food habits. We also go over the effects of domesticated stress on animal welfare, highlighting the necessity of better management techniques that lessen stress and support the mental and physical health of cattle. Developing methods to improve cattle welfare, boost production, and guarantee moral and sustainable farming methods requires an understanding of the connection between domestication stress and animal behaviour.
