Behaviour of animals involves a numerous activities and functions of individual animal, which display individually or in group, with other animals. As for larger part of animal is active, here we investigate the main motives of the actions or drives of the actions. Motive is the main trigger for the action, it maintains and directs it. Because motives are linked with physiological needs they are displayed considerably constancy with give them impulse character. Internal and external stimulants cause the change of motivated actions. An animal gets stimulants through receptors and then stimulans by sensitive nervous system are transfered in higher ports of central nervous system. Welfare is considered as subjective physiological state of individual animal and it is mirror of internal and external factors. Although we are not ready to directly evaluate emotions of animals, we try to use different indications of behaviour, production features and pathology to derive some assumptions or definite conclusions.
