Seventy-eight Large-White×Landrace mixed parity sows were weaned from farrowing crates into groups of six and mixed into straw-bedded service pens with individual feeding stalls. Groups were transferred to similar gestation pens after 4 weeks where

Hierarchy positions in groups of sows are settled relatively quickly, though long term stability can be affected by several factors including method of feeding. Fighting is less intense between pigs of unequal sizes, may be reduced by previous exposu

Twelve pens each of 15 Large-White × Landrace pigs, weighing 25–30 kg, were formed by mixing two, three or four groups of unfamiliar pigs. These corresponded to the following mixing patterns: G2, seven and eight pigs; G3, five, five and five pigs;

Prior to farrowing, 51 multiparous Large White × Landrace sows were housed together with a pen-mate over the peri-parturient period. There were four groups: (1) the pen-mate was unfamiliar and subordinate (n = 12); (2) the pen-mate was unfamiliar an

In Trial 1, seven Large-White × Landrace sows were initially housed in either stalls ( n -4) or straw pens ( n =3) during gestation. On Day 107 of pregnancy, each sow was placed into a pen in which food was delivered every 2 h and which had operant

Farrowing site choice was examined in 40 sows. In group 1, the preference of 16 sows was tested for pre-formed lying areas which incorporated the characteristics of previously observed farrowing nests: a hollow (H), a mattress (M), a nest box (B) and

The nest building behaviour of 12 preparturient sows was studied in enriched pens. Four categories of behaviour were observed: rooting, straw carrying, pawing and lying. In the 24 h before farrowing, six sows excavated hollows in sand floors and remo

The mixing of unfamiliar sows usually results in fighting which can have adverse consequences for both welfare and production. It has been suggested that aggression may be moderated by both the presence of a boar and by allowing sows access to feedin

The re-grouping of sows at weaning or after service is a common procedure in pig production systems and is one which can have adverse consequences for both welfare and production. One possibility for overcoming the problem is to return sows to previo
