Effect of solar radiation on dairy cattle behaviour, use of shade and body temperature in a pasture-based system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the behavior and body temperature of pastured dairy cattle kept in 1of 4 treatments: no shade or free access to shade that blocked either 25, 50 or 99% of solar radiation (n = 3 groups per treatment, 3 animals/group).

The Dominant white, Dun and Smoky Color Variants in Chicken Are Associated With Insertion/Deletion Polymorphisms in the PMEL17 Gene
Susanne Kerje,Preety Sharma,Ulrika Gunnarsson,Hyun Kim,Sonchita Bagchi,Robert Fredriksson,Karin E. Schütz,Per Jensen,Gunnar von Heijne,Ronald Okimoto,Leif Andersson,Leif Andersson +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that the Dominant white allele was associated with a 9-bp insertion in exon 10, leading to an insertion of three amino acids in the PMEL17 transmembrane region.

Effects of Resource Allocation on Behavioural Strategies: A Comparison of Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus) and Two Domesticated Breeds of Poultry
Karin E. Schütz,Per Jensen +1 more
TL;DR: The results support the idea that selection for high production results in modified behavioural strategies, and Behaviours that are of high energetic cost, such as extensive foraging and social interactions, were of lower in frequency in the laying hens compared to junglefowl and bantam, allowing the layingHens to save energy that can be reallocated to production traits.

Melanocortin 1‐receptor (MC1R) mutations are associated with plumage colour in chicken
TL;DR: The results provided compelling evidence that the Extended black (E) locus controlling plumage colour is equivalent to MC1R, and E/MC1R was assigned to chromosome 11 with overwhelming statistical support.

The amount of shade influences the behavior and physiology of dairy cattle.
TL;DR: Cows spent more time in shade and less time lying with increasing heat load, and aggressive interactions in the shade, time around the water trough, mean body temperature, and respiration rate increased with environmental heat load.
