Abstract

Continuous observations during the first 6 h post partum were made on 38 heifers and 44 cows calving in individual pens, and 11 heifers and 40 cows calving in group housing. Only 22% of group-housed cows isolated themselves at calving. Many interactions involving alien cows and calves were observed in a group-calving situation and resulted in 4 cases of desertion of a newborn calf. Such interactions most commonly involved newborn calves and cows close to parturition. Calves born in group housing moved away from their dam more and directed a high proportion of teat-seeking towards alien cows. 33% of calves cross-suckled during the first 6 h of life.

奶牛及其新生小牛在个体或群体住宅中的行为
在产后的前6小时,对38头母牛和44头母牛在单独的猪圈产仔,以及11头母牛和40头母牛在群舍产仔进行了连续观察。只有22%的群居奶牛在产犊时孤立自己。在集体产犊的情况下,观察到许多涉及外来奶牛和小牛的互动,导致4例遗弃新生小牛。这种互动最常见的是新生牛犊和即将分娩的母牛。在群居地出生的小牛更多地离开了它们的水坝,并将很大比例的寻找奶头的行为指向了外来的母牛。33%的小牛在出生后的前6小时进行交叉哺乳。
