“…The act of sniffing or looking is considered a sign of exploitation of the environment, which in situations of confinement appears much inferior compared to the expression presented by the animals in their natural environment (MAIA et al, 2013).The presented results regarding the sniffing behavior showed little frequency in this research, probably due to the restricted area at the disposition of the animals and absence of substrate for manipulation.…”

Studies have shown that the benefits from music can improve the welfare conditions of laboratory, pet and production animals. The study aimed to evaluate the influence of music (Antonio Lucio Vivaldi compositions) on behavior aspects (position, activity, stereotypes, social and agonistic behavior) and physiological responses (respiratory rate and rectal temperature) in gestating sows in individual cages (stage 1), and collective stalls (stage 2). 28 animals were studied, 14 belonged to music group, and 14 to the control group (without music).The respiratory rate had the lowest averages in the group with music, for example, in stage 1, time 1, values of 19.28 and 21.50 mov.min -1 . In stage 2, the values found in the same time were 20.36 and 24.16, and in time 2, values of 24.37 and 27.18 mov.min -1 . These findings follow in stage 2 until time 4.Behaviors position, activity, stereotypes and agonistic interaction with the researcher were also influenced by the music. We concluded from the results that music influenced the behavior of animals, providing greater relaxing and reduce stereotypes aspects related to a better welfare.KEY WORDS: animal behavior, physiological parameters, sound stimuli stereotypes.

“…"Stereotyped" behavior has a strong and positive relationship with "bite addiction" and "mount", i.e., stereotyped behavior leads to other behaviors considered unwanted (mount, agonistic, bite and suction addiction), denoting low levels of animal welfare (MAIA et al, 2013).…”

“…"Ludic" and "stereotyped" behaviors are extremely positively related to each other. Stereotyped behavior indicates special cases of abnormal behavior and welfare issues (MAIA et al, 2013), on the other hand, ludic behavior means welfare and pleasure for young animals (HELD; SPINKA, 2011). It is thus pertinent to remember that associations established do not mean necessarily data dependence and may be related to other variables not included in the analysis (SALGADO, 2006).…”

Different Gender Division Patterns for Swine Housing in Wean-to-Finish System

et al. 2017

ABSTRACT:This study aimed at identifying the best gender division pattern for swine at nursery stage, through the evaluation of behavioral and environmental parameters. Three treatments were established to achieve our objective: single-sex housing of 26 surgically castrated male pigs; mixedsex housing of 13 castrated males and 13 females; and single-sex housing of 26 females. Environmental and behavioral data have been recorded. It was used an ethogram to make an inventory of behaviors and that was used in multivariate analysis. Bite addiction differed statistically among treatments, and the lowest occurrence was in mixed-sex housing. Results of the multivariate analysis suggested that regardless of the treatment chosen, relative humidity is positively associated with the production of gases and dry-bulb temperature with airspeed. Mixedsex housing had multivariate relations suggesting less aggressive behaviors over food resources, being an example of social interaction that improves swine welfare.

RESUMO:O "wean to finish" é um sistema de criação de suínos, no qual os animais permanecem em uma mesma instalação do desmame até à fase de abate. Objetivou-se estudar o comportamento dos animais em alojamento exclusivo de 26 machos suínos (T1), misto (T2), contendo 13 machos e 13 fêmeas, e o tratamento único de fêmeas (T3), com 26 animais. Para isso, utilizou-se da análise multivariada, por meio da análise dos gráficos de componentes principais, por ser um artifício interessante utilizado por diversos pesquisadores para identificar quais variáveis são fortemente ou não correlatas. Assim, indica-se que o aumento da temperatura ambiental predispõe ao comportamento deitado em todos os tratamentos avaliados. No tratamento exclusivo de suínos machos castrados cirurgicamente, o comportamento de monta relaciona-se com vício, já o agrupamento misto, monta associa-se com lúdico. Todavia, fêmeas suínas alojadas unicamente não tendem a praticar o comportamento de monta. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:bem-estar, comportamento, instalação animal, multivariada, produção comercial, suinocultura. BEHAVIORAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT GENDER DIVISION OF GROWING AND FINISHING SWINE IN "WEAN TO FINISH" SYSTEM ABSTRACT:The "wean to finish" is a pig housing system, in which animals remains in the same building from the weaning to slaughter. The objective was to study the behavior of animals in unique accommodation of 26 male pigs (T1), mixed (T2), containing 13 males and 13 females, and the only treatment of females (T3) with 26 animals. For this, we used multivariate analysis, by analyzing the principal components, as an interesting tool used by many researchers to identify which variables are strongly correlated or not. Thus, we observed the main trends and characteristics in each treatment. The increase in air temperature has caused the behavior of lying down in every treatment. Only in the male treatment, the mount behavior is related to addiction, however in the mixed treatment the mount is related to a playful behavior. Only female pigs' treatment did not show any mount behavior.
