The behavioural mechanisms underlying its development are important and comparisons with other species may increase our understanding. In nature the cow will separate herself from the herd to give birth and then the cow\u2013calf relationship will develop with the ability to recognise each other. While twinning levels are low in cows, they do rear their twin calves. If the calf is lost at or after birth the cow can be responsive towards other calves and in specific circumstances the cow can develop a maternal bond with an alien calf, i.e. foster. In this Research Reflection a distinction is made between the development of, on the one hand, maternal responsiveness (the tendency of the cow to care for a calf which occurs before birth) and, on the other hand, the development of the maternal\u2013filial bond or relationship which is reciprocal, occurs after birth and is characterised by the ability to discriminate the mother's own calf from alien calves. These processes can overlap and the relationship between cow and calf in this \u2018hider\u2019 species is more plastic than in some other mammals. For example, a cow might form an attachment with an alien calf before she gives birth. After the cow has given birth the loss of her own calf may result in the state of maternal responsiveness being maintained, such that developing a maternal bond with one or several appropriate alien calves is possible. Viable fostering techniques are possible. If a maternal relationship to the mother's own calf has developed then fostering will be more difficult. If the cow's relationship with her own calf is not exclusive, and she is in a state of maternal responsiveness then fostering of calves of an appropriate age and status can be achieved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022029920000436","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,29]],"date-time":"2020-07-29T06:06:20Z","timestamp":1596002780000},"page":"101-107","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["The cow\u2013calf relationship: from maternal responsiveness to the maternal bond and the possibilities for fostering"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"John P.","family":"Kent","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-3472(82)80065-1"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11647\/OBP.0097"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref62","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01905355"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0168-1591(85)90058-9"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref11","first-page":"45","volume-title":"Development of Perception","volume":"1","author":"Beecher","year":"1981"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1071\/EA9890509"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref73","volume-title":"The Calf","author":"Roy","year":"1980"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-3472(88)80149-0"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref61","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-3762(82)90217-6"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref56","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.52.4.911"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref36","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/acprof:oso\/9780198521563.001.0001"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"470","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-3472(79)90184-2","article-title":"How do sensitive periods arise and what are they for?","volume":"27","author":"Bateson","year":"1979","journal-title":"Animal Behaviour"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref31","first-page":"203","volume-title":"Maternal Behaviour in Mammals","author":"Hersher","year":"1963"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0168-1591(87)90005-0"},{"key":"S0022029920000436_ref59","first-page":"535","article-title":"Suckling of two calves by Salers cows.
