In the 1-, 3- and 9-day groups, 25–43% of ewes refused to allow their own washed lambs to suck and 7–47% permitted a washed alien to suck, though most were able to distinguish their own washed lamb from 2 washed aliens in a multiple choice test. In the 27-day group, all ewes permitted only their own washed lamb to suck. Similar results were obtained in the 4 age groups with the same lambs when only the hind half was washed, indicating that odour from this region is responsible for releasing suckling behaviour.When ewes were penned together with washed alien lambs for at least 2 days, 73–100% of lambs in the 1-, 3- and 9-day groups either gained weight progressively or were seen to suck freely from the foster mother, while only 33% of lambs in the 27-day group were similary accepted. With unwashed lambs, the acceptance rate was approximately half that of washed lambs. Labelling the alien lamb with wool from the tail region of the foster ewe's own lamb also tended to facilitate fostering, but not to any marked extent. Where the ewe's own lamb was also present in the flock after fostering, foster ewes tended to revert to suckling their own lamb at the expense of the foster lamb, especially in the 9- and 27-day groups.The use of washing coupled with close confinement appears to be an effective method of fostering lambs on to ewes, especially within the first day or two after birth.Fifty-five % of ewes in the 1- and 3-day groups failed to accept their own unwashed lamb after being separated from it for only 40–48 h, indicating that the ewe's memory for lamb odour is transient and/or that the odour changes with time.</div>","PeriodicalId":100106,"journal":{"name":"Applied Animal Ethology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0304-3762(83)90146-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137407236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The striking differences found between these two types of organisation in the social grouping and bonds, mating behaviour, leadership and dominance hierarchies of the animals are examined. It is thought that the non-territorial species show a less primitive type of organisation than the territorial animals.Infant Equidae are precocious animals and are able to follow their dams soon after birth. They stay close by their dams and travel with the herd from an early age and are therefore classified as “followers”, in contrast to the species which have a period of hiding after birth. Dams recognise their foals immediately after birth, whereas it takes 2 or 3 days for a foal to form an attachment to its dam. Being in close proximity to their dams, foals are able to nurse frequently and, unless artificially weaned, a foal will nurse until its dam foals again.Foals start to graze during their first week and as they grow older they spend more time grazing and less time nursing and resting. It is normal for foals to be corprophagic until one month old, and this provides them with bacteria essential for the digestion of fibre. Play behaviour is solitary in very young foals, but after 4 weeks of age, foals play together, with male foals playing more than females and showing more aggressive, fighting movements in play.</div>","PeriodicalId":100106,"journal":{"name":"Applied Animal Ethology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0304-3762(83)90138-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90128456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information on feather damage and loss, age at sexual maturity, and part-year egg-mass production was also collected. Strain differences were clearly evident for nervousness score, duration of fearful behavior, and feather loss. The strain having more nervous and fearful hens also suffered greater feather damage and loss. Sire-family differences were erratically present for the same traits.Correlation coefficients calculated within strains for latency data obtained by 2 observers, working independently, indicated significant repeatability in 5 of 8 comparisons (r values from 0.50 to 0.91). Correlations of latencies within strains obtained by the use of 2 kinds of fear-inducing stimuli also indicated significant repeatability in 4 of 8 comparisons (r values from 0.35 to 0.88). Further intra-strain correlation analyses indicated that fearful behavior, as measured by latencies, tended to be associated with number of hens per cage, but was relatively independent of neighbors' behavior. Greater nervous and fearful behavior of caged groups tended to be significantly associated with greater feather loss and non-significantly associated with earlier sexual maturity and lower egg-mass production of 30 – 40-week-old pullets.</div>","PeriodicalId":100106,"journal":{"name":"Applied Animal Ethology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0304-3762(83)90147-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89324961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
