Measuring Faecal Glucocorticoid Metabolites to Assess Adrenocortical Activity in Reindeer

Measuring Faecal Glucocorticoid Metabolites to Assess Adrenocortical Activity in Reindeer

Several non-invasive methods for assessing stress responses have been developed and validated for many animal species. Due to species-specific differences in metabolism and excretion of stress hormones, methods should be validated for each species. The aim of this study was to conduct a physiologica...
