This research was carried out in the gestation facility, with 24 gilts, 12 females housed in individual cages and 12 housed in collective pens, to evaluate different housing systems (individual cages, collective pens) for pregnant sows, aiming to describe quantitative and qualitative aspects of environment and the characteristics that influence the production system. This work was divided in two stages in function of the way chose for data analysis: bioclimatic and housing system analysis. Bioclimatic evaluation was realized by registering […]
