Relative telomere length in dairy calves and dams undergoing two different methods of weaning and separation after three months of contact.

Relative telomere length in dairy calves and dams undergoing two different methods of weaning and separation after three months of contact.

Telomere length (i.e., the length of the repeated sequences of DNA at the end of chromosomes) is a promising indicator of overall stress. Our study aimed to compare the effects of a stress-inducing separation process between dams and their calves, with either a gradual or a nose-flap separation meth...
