Ontogeny of behavioral traits in commercial sows.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Nov 2018

Horback K M, Parsons T D

As the number of gestating sows reared in group housing increases, a better understanding of behavioral traits needed to negotiate these more complex social interactions promises to increase animal welfare and productivity. However, little is known about different behavioral strategies or coping styles in sows, and even less is understood about their ontogeny. To study the development of coping styles in adult...
