Physiological and behavioural aspects of housing stress in cattle, End of Project Reports, Teagasc, 2008.101841705292http://hdl.handle.net/11019/1188End of Project ReportThe effect of various space allowances on pituitary, adrenal, immune responses and performance was investigated in 72 Holstein x Friesian bulls.The effect of transporting bulls for 12-h by road previously housed for 96 days at three space allowances (1.2, 2.7, 4.2 m2 per bull) on adrenal, haematological, immune responses, body temperature and performance was investigated. The effect of repeated regrouping and relocation (R&R) on behaviour of steers was investigated. The effect of repeated regrouping and relocation (R&R) of cattle on hypothalamicpituitary- adrenal (HPA) axis, immune function, blood biochemical, hematological variables and ADG, was investigated.enCattleHousing Stressphysiological indicatorsBehavioural aspectsRoad transportAnimal welfareTechnical Report5475
