摘要: Abstract A link between neonatal isolation and increased milk production has been reported for Holstein dairy cattle (Donaldson, 1970; Arave et al., 1985). This research proposes investigates four mechanisms that might underlie this effect. Three hypotheses were unsupported: did not affect social dominance, reproductive maturation or socialization to humans. fourth hypothesis isolation, by imposing stress, organizational effects on hypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenal axis function. was supported behavioral endocrine evidence. Isolated calves stood more ( P
