Disturbed behaviour is defined as 'deviation from normal behaviour by overloading the capacity of adaptation'. Disorders are arising as 'injuries of the organism by environmental factors which are not conform to the behavioural requirements of an individual'. Examples are given related to tying-stalls and to cubicle-housing. More injuries do arise from short-standing than from cubicle-houses. The influence of the herdsman's qualification how to keep cattle concerning their behaviour and the quantity of injuries is shown.
