Partial effect plots of the effect of handling duration on deoxycorticosterone and the cortisol/cortisone ratio (a), and of reproductive status (la: cow with calf and lactating; cr: calf removed, not lactating, nr: cow did not reproduce, not lactating) on LCC and the cortisol/cortisone ratio (b). Only stress indices on which handling duration or reproductive status showed a significant effect are shown. Significant differences between categories in (B) are indicated by horizontal lines. P-values and other statistical values on the effects of handling duration and reproductive status are given in the additional tables A1 and A2, respectively. Colours and line types of regression lines and y-axes indicate the various stress indices
