摘要
Ewe lambs from 2 breeds (Merinos d'Arles and Romanov) and their crossbreds, from Merinos ewes sired by Romanov rams, were observed during 5 individual tests. During the first 3 tests there were no other sheep in sight and animals were alone, with concentrate or with a human. During the last 2 tests, some penmates were in sight and the experimental animal was alone or with a human. Romanov animals were much more reactive than the Merinos. They eliminated more ate less and avoided the human more. For most of the criteria, crossbreds were closer to the Romanov than to the Merinos purebreds. This seemed to be due to genetic differences and not to direct maternal influence.
