Abstract
Survival of the neonate relies on the integrated expression of appropriate behaviours from both mother and young.In this study, the effect of birth difficulty on maternal and lamb behaviours and its influence on lamb survival was investigated in crossbred primiparous ewes (½ Finnish x ½ Rahmani).Assisted ewes spent significantly (P<0.05) less time licking (30.83± ± ± ±1.39 min/2 h) and nosing (24....
