Sažetak
Nursing frequency and duration based on vocal and tactile communication between the sow and the piglets was video-taped during the first 6 hours after farrowing. The recording included 10 sows, divided in two groups and placed in two objects with different flooring. The sows differed in breed, age and parity. The obtained results were statistically analysed and compared applying the t-test. A significant difference (P<0,05) was found considering frequency values of vocal communication between the sows in Objects A and B, and between the frequency and duration of vocal/tactile communication in Object A. During the research micro-climatic factors were also monitored in both objects.
