Sow stress levels and behavior and piglet performances in farrowing crates and farrowing pens with temporary crating
Original language description
Farrowing pens with temporary crating have been developed as a compromise between conventional farrowing crates and pens to better accommodate the welfare of both sow and piglets during lactation. However, not much is known about the behavioral and physiological consequences of early removal of confinement on the sow and piglets during lactation. The aim of this study was to assess the effects on sow and piglet performance of temporary crating until 3d postpartum at 2 times points, immediately after confinement removal and 25 d into lactation. This study indicates that removal of confinement on the 4th d postpartum may have had small short term positive effects on sow behavior and stress levels, and that it did not impair piglets behavior and performance during lactation. Therefore, this work suggests that temporary crating limited to the first 3 d postpartum might be a feasible alternative to improve welfare under intensive production conditions.
