【The Behavioral Repertoire of Cattle Used for Vaquejada Races Does Not Indicate Chronic Stress in Transport and Races】 Full article: https://lnkd.in/g-hHRSMt (Authored by Raíssa Karolliny Salgueiro Cruz, et al., from Centro Universitário Cesmac (Brazil), etc.) In northeastern Brazil, vaquejada is the most widespread and popular sport involving horses and cattle. Vaquejada races are used to test the athletic qualities of these animals and the cowboys, who are exposed to physical and metabolic challenges during the race. This study conducts an experiment to evaluate cattle (n = 80) during transport (before, immediately, and 8 hours after transport) and on the three days of races in the Vaquejada Park (1 hour before, immediately, and 1 hour after the vaquejada race) through ethogram to evaluate the cattle by scanning methods. #Transport #Stressors
