Blood constituent responses of cattle to herding.
Blood was obtained over a period of 20 minutes by remote controlled procedures from cattle while they were herded. Samples were analysed for catecholamines, cortisol, haematocrit, total lipid, glucose and lactate. The results show that the response to a given stressor is specific and suggest that multiple stressors may not necessarily result in additive effects.
