摘要

Piglet mortality is both reducing animal welfare and production yield. A large part of the pigletmortality is due to crushings by the sow, as a direct effect of the sows posture changes. Bothfrequencies, duration and other quality measures of the sow’s posture changes (e.g. pre-lyingbehavior through communication with piglets) would therefore affect crushings. The purposeof this study is to investigate if and how the sow-piglet communication and the sows posturechange is affected by different pen types, and if this in turn affects piglet mortality.In this study 24 healthy Landrace × Yorkshire sows were included, 12 from a traditional penand 12 from the UMB-pen (a prototype design-pen), with parities from 1-4 (1.8±0.20). Thesows where recorded on video from prepartum and until 12 hours postpartum. The videomaterial was analyzed for sow-piglet communication and postural changes.A significant difference in activity level was found between comparing prepartum, farrowingand postpartum, with multiparous sows showing more posture changes. A significant difference in activity level was found between comparing prepartum, farrowingand postpartum, with multiparous sows showing more posture change prepartum thanprimiparous sows. There were few significant differences between the pens, with only moretime spend on standing to lying in the UMB-pen than in the traditional pen. The postureparameter best explaining crushings in the present study was the averages time the sow spentstanding. Crushing could also be explained by an increased frequency of sitting.Posture changes was also associated with communication. Primiparous sows communicatedmore, and more communication were performed in the UMB-pen. Frequency of standing tolying by the sow was positively correlated with sow-initiated communication, again positivelycorrelated with crushings. But, when investigating communication effects on overall mortality,the best parameters to explain that was actually piglet-initiated. Increased communication bythe piglets reduces mortality, which could both be due to reduced amount of crushings withincreased orientation by the sow, or reduced mortality of other causes, e.g. starvation and hypothermia.
