Basal and stress response cortisol levels and stress avoidance learning in sheep (Ovis ovis)

Pages 162-163 | Received 04 Jun 1996, Published online: 22 Feb 2011
 

Abstract

Basal and stress related corticosteroid levels show complex patterns of relationship to age, social status and aggressive behaviour (1)(2)(3)(4)(6). I have investigated basal and stress related cortisol levels in sheep subjected to a model of learned stress avoidance, the results of which suggest that factors of stress avoidance learning ability and experience also contribute to cortisol levels.
