Genetics of fear in ruminant livestock (2005, background): “, 1996), beef (Boivin et al., 1994; Le Neindre et al., 1995; Burrow, 2001) and dairy cattle (Murphey et al.”
Assessing the human-animal relationship in farmed species: a critical review (2006, background): “Scores of reactions to restraint are often repeatable (Grandin, 1993; Burrow, 1997) and correlated with productivity and product quality (e.g., Voisinet-Bartlett et al., 1996; Voisinet et al., 1997; Jones and Hocking, 1999; Burrow, 2001; Faure et al., 2003).”
Breeding strategy to improve Ethiopian Boran cattle for meat and milk production (2011, background): “1998), reproductive and milk production traits (Burrow 2001).”
Interactions between Temperament, Stress, and Immune Function in Cattle (2011, background): “For example, Bos indicus and Bos indicus-crosses have been reported to be more temperamental then Bos taurus cattle [46, 47].”
Genetics of adaptive traits in heifers and their relationship to growth, pubertal and carcass traits in two tropical beef cattle genotypes (2009, background): “Earlier reports of low to moderate h(2) estimates of TEMP and high h(2) estimates of COAT in tropical beef cattle (Mackinnon et al. 1991; Burrow 2001; Prayaga and Henshall 2005) support the present estimates.”
