N2  - Thirty two ewes (14 Barki and 18 Rahmani ewes) and their lambs were used to examine the effect of blindfolding of ewes at the second week after lambing on maternal and neonatal behaviour. Half number of each breed was used as a control group (non-blindfold), while the others were blindfolded (treated groups). Each blindfolded ewe was tested once with blindfolded own and alien lambs and the other with non-blindfolded own and alien ones. Before test period (10 min), tested ewe and lamb were separated (50 m away from each other) for 4 hours
