Stereotypic oral behaviour in captive ungulates: foraging, diet and gastrointestinal function. (2006, background): “Furthermore, in calves, the cross-sucking common when artificially reared calves are group-housed away from the dam (e.g. Jensen, 2003) seems to increase the later risks of inter-sucking (the sucking of the teat of another animal) when young heifers, which in turn then increases the later risk of…”
Maternal deprivation and the development of stereotypic behaviour (2008, background): “…behaviour following weaning can be reduced by slowing milk delivery during feeds and allowing suckling through a teat (Hammell et al., 1988; de Passille, 2001; Loberg and Lidfors, 2001), and allowing brief suckling from a cow post-milking (Margerison et al., 2003; see also review by Jensen, 2003).”
