“…On average, young cattle were observed to be more temperamental than older cattle (Voisinet et al, 1997;Lanier et al, 2000) and with ageing, cattle behaviour was found to be more consistent over time (Gibbons et al, 2011;Haskell et al, 2012). These modulations of behaviour through individual experiences and therefore through ageing are assumed to evolve from changes in the reactivity of the nervous system (Grandin and Dessing, 1998). The graduate adaption to repeated external stimuli is referred to as habituation (Cyr and Romero, 2009).…”

“…These traits play an important role in humananimal-environment relationships, which is particularly noticeable in intensified milk and beef production, when behavioural disorders (e.g. lameness, bar-biting, tonguerolling, excessive licking and grooming or the buller steer syndrome) in cattle are especially frequent (Grandin and Deesing, 1998;Phillips, 2002;Brouček et al, 2008). Selection towards single purpose breeds induced behavioural changes more especially in the B. taurus species (Burrow, 1997;Von Keyserlingk and Weary, 2007;Hoppe et al, 2008;Cozzi et al, 2009;Prendiville et al, 2010;Titto et al, 2011).…”

“…Les éleveurs privilégient les races ovines locales, souvent d'effectifs réduits (par exemple Bizet, Raïole, Thônes et Marthod, Solognote, Rava…), ce qui contribue à la préservation de la biodiversité domestique, et renforce le lien au « terroir ». Les capacités adaptatives des animaux sont en effet déterminantes, et les éleveurs recherchent en priorité des races caractérisées par leur rusticité, mais aussi par leur capacité de « finition » des produits à l'herbe, leur résistance au parasitisme, leur aptitude à la marche, leur résistance au froid ou à l'humidité et leur autonomie de mise bas (Boissy et al 2005, Grandin et Deesing 2014. En revanche, ces races peuvent présenter une faible conformation qui pénalise la mise en marché, sauf si les éleveurs pratiquent des croisements avec des races à viande et/ou la vente en circuit court, leurs caractéristiques raciales ainsi que leurs liens aux terroirs étant appréciées par le consommateur.…”
