From: Characteristics of temporal patterns of cortisol and luteinizing hormone in primiparous, postpartum, anovular, suckled, beef cows exposed acutely to bulls

Figure 2

Least squares means for daily mean concentrations of temporal patterns of cortisol in postpartum, anovular, suckled cows exposed to bulls (EB; n = 8) or steers (ES; n = 8) for 5 h daily over a 9-d intensive blood sampling period (D 0 = start of bull or steer exposure). The vertical bar represents the pooled standard error of the mean (SEM). The grey shaded box represents the period during which cows adapted to intensive blood sampling and handling protocols (D 0 to D 2). The period of stabilization represents D 2 to 8 after exposure.
