A preliminary observation on changes in daily behavioural activities following surgery in ram lambs

Locomotor and maintenance behavioural changes of five ram lambs before and after two surgical procedures were evaluated. There was significant behavioural variation between the individual animals during the observation periods. Preliminary results suggested that the frequency of locomotor activity,...
