Research Abstract

The aim of this project was to examine the relationship between behavioural characteristic and milk cortisol concentration. We revealed that there was a significant effect of lactation stage on milk cortisol concentration. And we found that a consistent relationship between behavioural characteristics, which were estimated under stressful situation, and milk cortisol concentration.
