The interaction between man-animal has a great impact on farm animal welfare and it constitutes an area of dynamic research. Typically the goal this kind of studies is to reach good management practices with lower costs and providing a better welfare to the animals. To evaluate the interaction man-animal many behavioural tests have been developed and applied to different animal species (Pajor et al., 2003; Lansade et al., 2004; Tallet et al., 2006). These tests are used to evaluate relationship between farm animals and their stockperson and how it affects the animal behaviour. The objective of this study is to compare the lamb behaviours of activity and vocalization of two breeds -Île-de-France (IF) and Churra da Terra Quente (CTQ) in a man-animal standard test.
