Abstract: Ewes that had been separated from their lambs for several hours were each presented with a choice between three anaesthetized lambs, one of which was the ewe's own. Each lamb was in a separate cage adjacent to a passage-way in which the ewe was free to move. The ability of the ewe to select her own lamb was equally good whether the head or the tail region of the lamb was placed against the corridor for examination at close-quarters, but when the lamb was 0.25 m from the corridor, very few ewes appeared able to find their own lambs. Although the ewes displayed less interest in the lamb's head than in the tail region, the head, as well as the tail, appears to provide the ewe with close-quarter clues, presumably olfactory, to the identity of the lamb. |
