This study investigated the effect of the lying surface on the behavior of lame cows in hospital pens.
Results for the left supplementary motor area [−12, 21, 57] showed a significant main effect of the "Lie" (F1,19 = 21.678, P < 0.0005) and a marginal main effect of familiarity of stimuli ("True targets" > "New targets") (F1,19 = 4.015, P = 0.060), without an interaction (F1,19 = 0.179, P = 0.677).
However, there are to our knowledge no investigations concerning if individual differences in the normal lying behaviour during early lactation are correlated to the development of shoulder lesions and in particular the effects of the lying bout duration.
A significant main effect of the Lie and True conditions (F1,25 = 7.24; p = 0.013) and a robust interaction effect of Lie/True and valence perception (F1,25 = 27.49; p<0.001) were observed.
These strong low-velocity anomalies can be attributed to the TBL caused by the blanketing effect of the horizontally lying cold slab.
The effect of the triplets lying in close proximity to the 5D0 state for 5- and 3-nitrosalicylates and to the 5D1 state for 3,5-dinitrosalicylates on the Eu3+ luminescence efficiency was demonstrated.
Except that 100 kg calves spent less time lying close to other calves on the medium-sized lying than on the large lying area, there were no favourable effects of increasing the lying area from medium to large.
Our objective was to understand the effect of overstocking on the lying and standing behavior of dairy cattle.
This paper describes an experimental method to investigate the effect of surface lay on lubricated rolling/sliding of ground roller surfaces.
Non-dominance exists when the co-dominant contrast is non-significant and, hence, the risk effect of heterozygotes lies in the middle of the risk of the two homozygotes.
A 2-way ANOVA repeated-measures model was employed to explore the effects of the Lie versus True condition and the effect of valence perception on accuracy.
