摘要
The behaviour observations in the constant group of 28 sows can state the following results: Pregnant and suckling sows can be kept in one group and all sows can be fed with one transponder feeding system. This system offers suckling sows the opportunity to leave their litters, which they actually do. The constant group housing can reduce the frequency and the kind of aggression. The integrated group housing features a lower suckling frequency than the cubicle-housing. The piglets of the former, therefore, discontinue suckling and start to eat earlier.
