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
