Effect of floor type on the welfare of piglets in the farrowing house
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2017
Extract
Floor type is one of the main features influencing the welfare of sows and piglets in farrowing crates. Yet it is difficult to reconcile the needs of the sow and her piglets through the use of one floor (Furniss et al., 1986). Hence the aim of this study was to identify a floor combination that optimises the welfare of the piglets in the farrowing crate.
