Maternal behaviour in beef cows is individually consistent and sensitive to cow body condition, calf sex and weight

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Beef cows' maternal care is essential for calf survival and fitness. In this study, we assessed the consistency of maternal care within and between lactations and investigated whether maternal care increases with mother's parity and body condition and whether mothers care more intensely for males and for calves with lower body weight. The Trivers-Willard hypothesis that cows in better condition invest preferentially into male progeny was also tested. Additionally, we assessed how calf weight gain until31 days of age was affected by cow condition and nursing frequency. The assessment was based on 58 lactations in 38 cows (20 cows observed in two subsequent lactations and 18 cows in one lactation). At 3 and 30 days of lactation, the cows were observed for 12 h. Their maternal behaviour was quantified through 6 protective maternal care variables (time spent in close proximity, time spent near the calf when it was active, initiating contacts, following the calf, maternal licking, response
