Heart rate, blood pressure and time spent lying down at nights (Study 4). Means (± SEM) of heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure in seven goats (a) and duration of lying down (b) during the first night after parturition (N1), the second night after parturition (N2), the night after Study 2 (N3), and the night after Study 3 (N4). Differences between nights were calculated from mean values between 18.00 h and 06.00 h when the goats were left undisturbed. * = P ≤ 0.05 indicate significant difference compared to the night after Study 3 (N4) for blood pressure and #= P ≤ 0.05 for heart rate (a). * = P ≤ 0.05 and ** = P ≤ 0.01 indicate significant difference compared to the night after Study 3 (N4) in duration of lying down (b).
