Effect of temperament on milk production, somatic cell count, chemical composition and physical properties in Lacaune dairy sheep breed

“…Several production traits were linked to temperament scores: calmer animals have better production parameters (higher weight gain, more favourable meat quality) compared to more temperamental animals (Dodd et al, 2014;Bokor et al, 2016).
