Effect of Slat and Gap Width of Slatted Concrete Flooring on Sow Gait Using Kinematics Analysis
The housing of gestating sows in groups requires sound information about the adapted design of the pen floor. Slatted concrete floors are commonly used for effective drainage of manure but can cause feet injuries and lameness. In the present study, kinematics were used to characterize the gait of 12...
