An exploration of surface temperature asymmetries as potential markers of affective states in calves experiencing or observing disbudding

The emotional valence hypothesis suggests an increased left-brain hemisphere activation during positive situations and vice versa during negative situations. Since facial thermal asymmetries may reflect lateralised brain activity, we investigated this in dairy calves subjected to hot-iron disbudding...
