Technical note: Instantaneous sampling intervals validated from continuous video observation for behavioral recording of feedlot lambs
Journal of Animal Science, 95(11), 4703–4707.
author keywords: behavior; feedlot; lambs; validation
MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal; Female; Linear Models; Male; Random Allocation; Sheep / physiology; Video Recording / methods
TL;DR:
The results from this study suggest that a 5-min instantaneous sampling interval will accurately estimate lying, feeding, and standing behaviors for lambs housed in a feedlot, whereas continuous sampling is recommended for the remaining behaviors.

The effect of social dynamics and environment at time of early weaning on short- and long-term lamb behavior in a pasture and feedlot setting
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 197, 32–39.
author keywords: Weaning; Lambs; Pasture; Feedlot; Social facilitation
TL;DR:
Results suggest that keeping non-related adult ewes with weaned lambs did not influence the grazing and lying behavior of lambs on pasture, and lambs that stayed with their dams and were weaned later had the lowest grazing time, likely because they were still receiving milk.

Flooring preference and behavior in sound and lame sows
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section A — Animal Science, 66(2), 115–118.
author keywords: Lameness; pain; mat; swine; animal welfare
TL;DR:
Sows appear to prefer the Mat within 24 h following lameness induction, and lying lateral is likely a more comfortable position than standing or lying sternal in these lame sows.

Livestock Science, 191, 103–107.
author keywords: Scan sampling; Lameness; Behavior; Swine; Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug
TL;DR:
Regardless of sampling method, standing time decreased in the days following lameness induction compared to the day before induction, and no differences were found in lying and standing behavior in saline treated sows for all sampling methods.

author keywords: animal welfare; behaviour; flunixin meglumine; lameness; meloxicam; swine
TL;DR:

TL;DR:
Stable, lying and drinking frequencies seem to be promising sow behavioral tools when transitioning from sound to lame states, and the induced lame foot had no observed effect on lying side preference.
