Oestrus and mating behaviour in group housed sows and the effect of social dominance
Group housing of sows is becoming a commonly used housing method in modern pig production because of welfare legislation which requires the phasing out of all stall and tether systems by 1999. Since group housing exposes sows to potential social stressors, the objective of this study was to determine whether dominance order has an effect on the behavioural expression of oestrus and mating behaviour of sows.
