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. Blindfolding had a significant influence on number of acceptance at the udder in Barki (P< 0.01) and Rahmani (P< 0.05) ewes. Some blindfolded Barki and Rahmani ewes accepted alien lambs at their udders. The effect of blindfolding on distance covered by dam towards the lamb and distance paced by lamb towards the dam was highly significant (P< 0.01) in the two breeds studied. Non-blindfolded Barki and Rahmani lambs whether own or alien paced significantly longer distance towards blindfolded ewes than blindfolded own and alien ones. Meanwhile, number of baaings emitted by lambs was significantly (P< 0.01) affected by blindfolding. Blindfolded lambs emitted more frequencies of baaings to seek care from ewes instead of vision. The obtained results support previous contention that visual clues are of major importance in ewe-lamb bond during the early stages of life. In the meantime, it may be recommended to adopt the blindfolding of ewes in grafting of alien lambs of the two Egyptian breeds tested.
