My name is Maria Malidaki, and I am a veterinarian doing a Master's in Applied Ethology and Animal Biology in Linköping University. This webpage hosts information about my master's project, titled "Effects of an odor or taste stimulus applied to an artificial teat on the suckling behavior of newborn dairy calves" and supervised by professor Matthias Laska (Department of Biology, IFM).
