Abstract

The aim of this project was to identify the preference behaviour of fattened pigs in differently designed housing methods. The sensor-based identification allowed the constant registration of the behaviour of 21 pigs towards different surrounding offerings throughout the whole fattening period. The basic approach assumes that preference towards different kind of areas can be illustrated as a function of time (duration of stay, period of stay).
The experiment described below, housing on a totally slatted floor was compared to housing on a partly slatted floor. Over the whole fattening period the preference for the partly slatted floor could be studied.
