Involvement of the main but not the accessory olfactory system in maternal behavior of primiparous and multiparous ewes
Abstract
The respective roles of the main and accessory olfactory systems in the development of maternal behavior and selective suckling were investigated in parturient primiparous and multiparous ewes. Vomeronasal nerve section before parturition did not disturb either maternal behavior or maternal selectivity at suckling. By contrast, anosmia induced by zinc sulphate infusion had significant effects on the onset of maternal behavior in primiparous ewes. The onset of licking and of suckling were delayed and licking times and maternal bleats were reduced. Such disturbances were not observed in multiparous anosmic ewes, indicating that experience can compensate for the loss of olfactory information. On the other hand, anosmia prevented selective care regardless of maternal experience. Our results underline the importance of the main olfactory system for the development of adequate maternal behavior in sheep.

“In domestic sheep, Ovis aries, the critical influence of olfaction on the establishment of the ewe’s bondwithher newborn offspringhas been particularlywell documented (Lindsay & Fletcher 1968; Baldwin & Shillito 1974; Morgan et al. 1975; Poindron 1976; Poindron et al. 1993; Lévy et al. 1995).”

“Thus, preventing the perception of olfactory cues from the neonateby removing all amniotic fluids (Lévy andPoindron, 1987) or by rendering the ewe anosmic before parturition (Lévy et al., 1995), has more adverse consequences on the display of maternal behaviour in primiparous than in multiparous experienced mothers.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
