Sažetak
Noise produced in intensive animal rearing by ventilation system, feeding and excrement removal lines and by animals themselves is a potential stressor and affects not only animals but also the tending personnel. High sensitivity to noise levels has been observed in pigs with some potential impact on their behaviour. In our study we measured exposure of pigs to noise in 3 houses for three categories of pigs, farrowing house, house for weanlings and house for sows before mating and after confirmation of gravidity. Although our measurements failed to identify high exposure of pigs to noise, this issue should be monitored further to avoid unnecessary stress in this very sensitive species of animals.
