在17只红鹿和它们的小牛（8只红鹿加11只红×马鹿杂交种）中测量了重复处理事件的行为反应及其一致性，以协助制定选择标准。在研究之前，鹿已经被广泛处理过。在连续6天的处理过程中，在两个时期内，对个体对约束加口服药物治疗的反应进行了评估。小牛被手动限制在一组围栏，而母鹿被单独起草到一个跑道，然后进入机械约束摇篮。小牛在不同处理阶段（经口给药前和经口给药期间的束缚）和两个不同处理阶段之间的挣扎反应表现出一致性。红鹿幼仔比杂种幼仔挣扎更频繁，处理时间更长（P < 0.01）。海兹表现出一致性，在个人的反应，特别是行为时，移动到摇篮，但也挣扎在约束和行为时，离开摇篮。(c)2005 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Behavioural responses and their consistency across repeated handling events were measured in 17 red deer hinds and their calves (8 red plus 11 red x wapiti hybrids), to assist in the development of selection criteria. The deer had been extensively handled prior to the study. Individual responses to restraint plus an oral medical treatment were assessed during handling for 6 successive days, over two periods. Calves were restrained manually in a group pen while hinds were drafted individually into a raceway then into a mechanical restraint cradle. Calves showed consistency in struggling responses between the different phases of handling (restraint before and during oral treatment) and the two different handling periods. Red deer calves struggled more frequently and took longer to handle than hybrid calves (P < 0.01). Hinds showed consistency in individual responses, particularly for behaviour when moving into the cradle, but also for struggling during restraint and behaviour when leaving the cradle.
