Farmed fish welfare-suffering assessment and impact on product quality (2009, background): “In their exhaustive review on the evaluation of animal welfare by the exploration of the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal function (HPA) Mormède et al. (2007) also considered the specific features of hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal cells axis function (HPI) in fish.”
Measuring stress in wildlife: techniques for quantifying glucocorticoids (2011, methodology): “Although blood sampling has long been the most common method for measuring GC concentrations, it is not necessarily the most informative method and sometimes is not possible (Möstl and Palme 2002; Mormede et al. 2007).”
Major welfare issues in broiler breeders (2011, background): “…at commercially applied restriction levels show elevated plasma corticosterone levels, although, due to the biological roles of the corticosteroids (Mormède et al., 2007), it is not clear yet whether these elevated plasma corticosterone levels reflect psychological 74 World's Poultry Science…”
'Freedom from hunger' and preventing obesity: the animal welfare implications of reducing food quantity or quality (2009, background): “CORT in the blood plasma shows a diurnal rhythm which is affected by meals (Mormède et al. 2007), reflecting its metabolic role and making it difficult to compare treatments with different meal patterns, such as quantitative restriction and alternative diets.”
Measures of behavioural reactivity and their relationships with production traits in sheep: A review (2012, background): “Elevation of glucocorticoids in the blood can only be detected after a delay of a few minutes from the onset of a stressful stimulus, and this response can be maintained for around an hour after the termination of the event (Mormède et al., 2007).”
