Sažetak
An inappropriate type of flooring may restrict movement and characteristic behaviour display in pigs, if animals feel unsafe on moving and changing posture. In this study, postural behaviour was compared between gilts accommodated in service unit with different types of flooring. The study was conducted in all seasons during four 28-day production cycles, including 10 gilts per cycle, equally divided into a control and an experimental group. Control gilts were accommodated in gestation stalls with concrete floor, whereas in the experimental group the floor was covered with rubber mat. Postural behaviour of gilts was observed 4 times per cycle for 4 hours. Study results showed that during the cold season control gilts spent more time standing and lying sternally, whereas experimental gilts were mostly lying, predominantly laterally (P<0.05 all). There were no significant between-group differences according to the time the gilts spent sitting or the frequency of changing posture. However, experimental gilts spent significantly less time changing posture (P<0.05), except for changing sternal to other recorded positions and sitting to sternal position. Accordingly, rubber mats may improve the lying comfort in gilts ; however, when using rubber mats, the house thermal conditions should be taken in consideration.
