EFFECT OF STOCKING DENSITY IN GROWING PIGS I. BEHAVIOUR PATTERN

A study was designed to find out whether there was any change in the pattern of behaviour in pigs due to change in stocking densities. Aggressive behaviour was measured by counting the number of threats (10.24 ± 0.706, 12.65 ± 0.716 and 15.21 ± 0.775 at 1 m2, 0.75 m2 and 0.5 m2 floor space per pig}...
