I don't exactly understand what is meant by "Verhalten" here. I suspect it may mean something like:

Grundlagen von Tierschutz und Verhalten
fundamental issues of animal welfare and behaviour


Explanation:
I'd rather be inclined to read this as "Tierschutz und -verhalten". Understanding animal behaviour might be a prerequisite of conducting animal studies such that the stress is minimized for the animals.
