Influence of calf–cow contact during rearing on social competence and stress reactivity in calves We investigated if dairy calves reared with cow-contact differ in their social behaviour and stress reactivity compared to calves reared without cow-contact. 69 calves from 29 farms (34 with cow-contact, 35 no cow-contact) were subjected to a combined isolation-novel object-confrontation test. Behaviour was observed and heart rate was recorded; saliva samples for cortisol analysis were taken before and after trials. Data were analysed using linear mixed effects models. Heart rate during isolation was higher in no-contact calves, but was similar to the heart rate of with-contact calves at the end of the trial (P=0.005). We found no effect of cow...
