Behavioural reactivity testing in sheep indicates the presence of multiple temperament traits.

Behavioural processes - 1 Sept 2022

Atkinson Leigh, Doyle Rebecca E, Woodward Andrew, Jongman Ellen C

Abstract excerpt

Temperament in sheep is commonly presented as unidimensional, with a 'nervous' temperament indicative of fear and reactivity towards humans and novel environments. However, temperament is multidimensional, with some traits expressed only under certain conditions (context-specific). There is evidence that a common temperament test in sheep, the isolation-box (IB), measures level of activity and not fearfulness as...
