D. aThe roles played by the senses of the ewe in the location and recognition of lambs.h[electronic resource] c1975 aAbstract: The roles of senses of smell, teste, sight, hearing and touch (around the mouth) in the recognition of lambs over distances of up to 12 m by Border Leicester and Merino ewes were studied in two series of experiments. Smell, taste, touch and hearing were impaired surgically and sight was impaired by blindfolding. Recognition depended entirely on smell. Hearing and sight, while playing no part in recognition per se, were important in helping the ewe to locate her lamb. Taste and touch had no role in recognition. aEwes aLambs aMaternal behavior aSheep aOvino aComportamento maternal aEtologia1 aBOUNDY, C. A. P.1 aARNOLD, G. W.1 aLINDSAY, D.
