Summary in the original language of the document
A comparison of 54 litters of individual versus 54 litters of group housed organic lactating sows (grouped at three) beginning with day 14 after birth demonstrated that – despite significant behavioural adaptation and agonistic behaviour of the group housed lactating sows – the piglets’ body weight development, diseases and loss rates were similar between the two housing systems. In consequence there were no differences in productivity between the litters of single and group housed lactating sows.
