Table 4 Real and proportional time spent performing play and non-nutritive sucking behaviour

	Max		Min		Mean		Median
Play	310 s	17.2%	0 s	0%	21 s	1.5%	5 s	0.3%
Non-nutritive sucking	1353 s	79.5%	0 s	0%	223 s	16.3%	145 s	10.1%

Total duration in s of the total observational period, and total proportions, in percentage of the accurate observation period (which for non-nutritive sucking behaviour is excluded time spent performing NIB) for all calves (n = 176), for play and non-nutritive sucking
