Test of temperament in mink is influenced by a shelf in the front of the cage and the stimulus size rather than by features of the test person
| Contributor(s):: Henriksen, Britt I. F., Møller, Steen H., Malmkvist, Jens

Comparative assessment of general behaviour and fear-related responses in hatchery-hatched and on-farm hatched broiler chickens
| Contributor(s):: Giersberg, Mona F., Poolen, Ilse, de Baere, Kris, Gunnink, Henk, van Hattum, Theo, van Riel, Johan W., de Jong, Ingrid C.

Therefore, alternative systems providing early nutrition, for instance by hatching eggs in a poultry...

Brown and white egg-layer strain differences in fearfulness and stress measures
| Contributor(s):: Nelson, Jill R., Settar, Petek, Berger, Emily, Wolc, Anna, O’Sullivan, Neil, Archer, Gregory S.

The effect of qualitative feed restriction in broiler breeder pullets on fear and motivation to explore
| Contributor(s):: Tahamtani, Fernanda M., Riber, Anja B.
