REPRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR



Pre-Parturient

  • Seek isolation
  • Restless
  • Nesting responses (non-ungulates)
  • Attention to vulva

Parturient

  • Species differences
  • Assist delivery
  • Contractions including abdominal muscles
  • Characteristic posture
  • Vocalisation
  • In some species, other animals in the group may assist with parturition.

Post-Parturient

  • Placenta eaten in many species including herbivores
  • Attention to young (licking)
  • Directing young to teats
