The objective of this research was to evaluate the behavior of piglets at different heating systems using the image analysis and electronic identification devices. This research was developed in the farrowing house, with 80 piglets from birth to weaning. The treatments were the different heating systems: heat mat, standard heat lamp, electric resistance and infrared lamp. A completely randomized block design with four treatments and 18 blocks was used. Environmental dry bulb temperature (Td), wet bulb temperature (Tw) and black […]
