This study used archived CT scanning images from Texel (n = 3534), Suffolk (n = 2357) and Charollais (n = 2013) ram lambs, scanned between 1997 and 2016 as part of the national UK terminal sire breeding programmes, to measure new, previously unexploi

Genetic parameters for carcass composition and meat quality traits were estimated in Scottish Blackface sheep, previously divergently selected for carcass lean content (LEAN and FAT lines). Computerized X-ray tomography (CT) was used to obtain non-de

There is increasing evidence that restriction of pre-parturient behaviour in pigs is stress-inducing, characterised by an elevation in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activity in gilts. To determine whether pigs adapt to behavioural restriction,

Oxytocin plays an important role at parturition due to its involvement in uterine contractions, foetal expulsion and the onset of maternal behaviour. The role of the related neurohypophysial hormone, vasopressin, is less clear; however, there is some

Contents Previous studies have shown an increase in plasma cortisol in gilts over farrowing irrespective of environment suggesting that factor(s) associated with parturition itself cause physiological stress. Factors involved in mediating the hypatha

The aim of this study was to describe maternal behaviour in the pig and to investigate the effect of endogenous opioids on maternal responsiveness. The behaviour of 16 Large White×Landrace female pigs was recorded around farrowing which involved rec

This study examined the temporal relationships between behavioural activity and hormones associated with stress in gilts farrowing in two environments. Thirty-one Large White × Landrace gilts with indwelling jugular catheters were blood sampled dail

Nest-building in the pig is thought to be stimulated by a pre-parturient surge in prolactin. There is concern that sows in crates may experience psychological stress as a result of physical interference with nest-building. Thirty-three gilts were imp
