The influence of direct physical contact on maintaining maternal responsiveness in induced adult hens was investigated using a separation procedure. Partial separation from chicks causes a significant decline of the clucking rate in hens, this response however does not disappear as in the case of total separation. The possibility for physical contact between hen and chicks contributes largely, but not uniquely, to maintain maternal responsiveness in the domestic hen.
采用隔离程序研究了直接身体接触对诱导成年母鸡维持母性反应能力的影响。与雏鸡部分隔离会导致母鸡咯咯叫频率显著下降，然而这种反应不像完全隔离那样消失。母鸡与雏鸡之间身体接触的可能性在很大程度上（但并非唯一地）有助于维持家鸡的母性反应能力。
