Behavioral pattern in Texel x Corriedale terminal crossbreeding: maternal behavior score at birth, lambs ’ feeding behaviors and behavioral responses of lambs to abrupt weaning

The objective of this study was to compare the maternal behavior score at early postpartum, the feeding behaviors of TxC and CxC lambs before and after weaning, and the behavioral responses at weaning. Furthermore, we determined whether the sex of the lamb had any influence on those responses in pure or crossbreed lambs.
