Individual calling to the feeding station can reduce agonistic interactions and lesions in group housed sows.
In this study we used a new call feeding station, which enabled sows to learn that they have access to feed only after an individual acoustic signal was given. We tested whether this call feeding station is able to reduce agonistic interactions between sows and whether effects of call feeding can further be improved by enrichment. A total of 85 gestating sows were kept in a dynamic group in a l...
متن کاملSome Productive, Reproductive and Physiological Effects of Using Different Dietary Protein Levels in Rabbit Does
Three groups of 11 New Zealand White (NZW) rabbit does, each were reared from 12 weeks of age on iso-energetic diets containing 16, 14 or 12% crude protein (CP) were used to study influences on productive performance, digestibility, some carcass traits, haematological, biochemical and hormonal parameters of rabbit does. The results showed rabbits fed on 16% protein diet had heavier body weights...
متن کاملComparison of performance and welfare of single-caged and group-housed rabbit does.
Although rabbit does are generally single housed on rabbit farms worldwide, it has been suggested by some specialists and recommendation of organic rabbit production systems that group housing of does is more comfortable and similar to the living conditions of the European wild rabbits. The aim of this experiment was to compare production of single-caged (S) and group-housed does (G). The S doe...
متن کاملHow does agonistic behaviour differ in albino and pigmented fish?
In addition to hypopigmentation of the skin and red iris colouration, albino animals also display distinct physiological and behavioural alterations. However, information on the social interactions of albino animals is rare and has mostly been limited to specially bred strains of albino rodents and animals from unique environments in caves. Differentiating between the effects of albinism and do...
متن کاملProspective Effects of Regrouping, Number of Animals in Each Group and Concentrate Specificity on Profitability of Lactating Dairy Cows
Profitability of different grouping criteria was simulated in a dairy farm with 153 lactating cows that were divided into three groups of high (79), medium (40) and low (34) cows based on the milk records. Animals were reassigned to the new groups based on the following criteria using a decision support tool and the same three groups scenario: fat corrected milk 4%, days in milk (DIM), dairy me...
