Abstract
Four pens of gestating sows from the University of Minnesota Southern Research and Outreach Center were randomly allocated to receive either enrichment or no enrichment (control) in a 2 by 2 crossover design. Time budgets were established by video recording focal sows’ behaviors (n=10 focals per pen) every 15 minutes between 0800 and 1500 every day. Enrichment use was further characterized by continuous behavior sampling for a 1-h interval between 0830 and 0930 each day. It is released because the manuscript is submitted for publication.
Description
Data files are two Excel spreadsheets, one including the continuous data, the other for the sporadic one. Lameness, parity and presence of stereoptypies are collected.
