Country: Canada

Summary:

The effect of floor space allowance on the performance of weanling pigs was examined by housing groups of 17 pigs in pens with a floor space of either 5.58 m2 (uncrowded) or 4.00 m2 (crowded). Crowding adversely affected growth and feed intake by week 4 post-weaning. These data support the current recommendations on floor space allowance for weanling pigs.
