Abstract

SUMMARY
      Vision plays an important role in ewe-lamb bond during the early stages of a lamb's life. It was proved that odour is not the only cue included in the association between ewe and lamb. It seems necessary to pay attention to vision, whether of ewe or lamb, in grafting practices in sheep farming. Changes in the colour of the lamb can result in ewe lamb rejection as if own lamb was alien. Dams may be attracted to foreign lambs brushed with the same colour of their lambs at a distance of 10m. However, when dams approached coloured foreign lambs, their interest was reduced and lost. The aim of the present review is to shed light on the importance of visual cue in mutual recognition between ewe and her lamb
