Abstract Most dairy calves are housed individually in early ontogeny but social housing has positive effects on calf welfare including an advantage of social buffering, i.e., when negative effects of stress are mitigated through social support of con

Abstract Vocal expression of emotions has been observed across species and could provide a non-invasive and reliable means to assess animal emotions. We investigated if pig vocal indicators of emotions revealed in previous studies are valid across ca

Publikováno v: Frontiers in Veterinary Science, Vol 8 (2021)

Behavioural cooperation is under intense research. Yet, popular experimental paradigms often employ artificial tasks, require training, or do not permit partner choice, possibly limiting their biological relevance. We developed the joint log-lift tas

Publikováno v: Größbacher, V, Bučková, K, Lawrence, A B, Špinka, M & Winckler, C 2020, ' Discriminating spontaneous locomotor play of dairy calves using accelerometers ', Journal of Dairy Science, pp. 1866-1873 . https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2019-17005

Play behavior is a promising welfare indicator in dairy calves because it decreases in negative situations such as pain or hunger and increases in positive contexts such as in appropriate social environments. Directly measuring play is time consuming
