Abstract In sheep, parity influences maternal behavior and the dam-offspring bond. Weaning involves the breaks of the dam-offspring bond, resulting in ewe stress responses. The aim of this study was to determine whether primiparous and multiparous dams differ in their response. Twenty-three Finnish-Landrace x Polwarth dams were used: twelve were multiparous dams (MD) and eleven primiparous dams (PD). Body weight, serum protein concentrations, and behavior were evaluated before and after weaning.

English This work is the result of a long process of research and teaching. It was partly a reaction to the way the Reconceptualization Process of Latin American Social Work was taught at the Rosario School. The sources analyzed were documents and works produced during the 1960s, central to the debates within the discipline; the proceedings of the Congresses of the Argentine Federation of Social Work (FAETS) from 2000 to 2006; and undergraduate theses that develop research on the period.
