A critical review of fear tests used on cattle, pigs, sheep, poultry and horses. (2007, background): “The overall picture is that the behavior of cattle in an open field situation does correlate with their behavior in other fear tests, at a low level [28,52,44] or not at all, there are no correlations with reactions to humans.”
Validity and feasibility of qualitative behavior assessment for the evaluation of Nellore cattle temperament (2013, result): “, 2009), and agitation (Kilgour et al., 2006).”
Associative learning by cattle to enable effective and ethical virtual fences (2009, background): “As there is variation in the response of cattle to tests of social isolation (Kilgour et al., 2006), it is possible that the variation in learning the association between the conditioned stimulus and electric shock may have been related to the strength of the animal’s motivation to join the herd.”
Assessment of positive emotions in animals to improve their welfare. (2007, background): “This idea was supported by Kilgour and collaborators [182] showing different components of personality in cattle and sheep adapted from human studies: general agitation and avoidance.”
Measures of behavioural reactivity and their relationships with production traits in sheep: A review (2012, background): “A series of studies have been conducted analysing he effects on temperament when selection has occurred or a related trait within a breed (Kilgour and Szantaroddington, 1995; Kilgour, 1998; Kilgour et al., 2006).”
