• Genetics of fear in ruminant livestock (2005, background): “These behavioural patterns play an important part in the social communication of ruminants by serving as signals to alert conspecifics (Bouissou et al., 2001).”
• The importance of social behaviour for goat welfare in livestock farming (2010, background): “Leadership is the ability of an animal to influence the affiliative movements and activities of its group mates (Bouissou et al., 2001).”
• A critical review of fear tests used on cattle, pigs, sheep, poultry and horses. (2007, background): “For instance, fear-related reactions affect sexual and maternal behaviors and social dominance ability in cattle and sheep [8,9].”
• Increased group size reduces conflicts and strengthens the preference for familiar group mates after regrouping of weaned dairy calves ( Bos taurus ) (2007, background): “In free living populations of cattle, group size may vary between 20 and 100 individuals (Bouissou et al., 2001), in which calves form subgroups up to 25 individuals, depending on environmental conditions and time of the day (Rankine and Donaldson, 1968; Sato et al.”
• Foraging in patchy grasslands: diet selection by sheep and cattle is affected by the abundance and spatial distribution of preferred species (2002, background): “In the dispersed pattern, competition for the small ryegrass patches could have influenced diet selection by the heifers even more, if it was only the dominant individuals that had access to the preferred resource, as is usually observed with penned cattle [6].”
