- Exploration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function as a tool to evaluate animal welfare. (2007, background): “Urinary cortisol is therefore well suited as a non-invasive measure of acute and chronic stress [8,109,200,201].”
- Understanding weaning distress (2008, background): “In a recent study, Colson et al. (2006) found that that the period of growth check was halved when piglets were weaned at 28 versus 21 d of age, likely due to higher intakes.”
- Play behaviour in dairy calves is reduced by weaning and by a low energy intake (2010, unknown): “Since other studies have shown that weaning and restricted food availability are distressing to young animals (Colson et al., 2006;Weary et al., 2008), our results support the idea of using play behaviour to assess calf welfare, although there are difficulties in recording play behaviour.”
