At d 30 post-breeding, 32 multiparous crossbred sows in groups of 4 were allocated to a stall-pen housing environment. Blood samples were taken at gestational d 30 (before mixing) and d 31 (24-h post-mixing), and then again at d 89 and 110;whereas, sow behavior was recorded at gestational d 30, 66, 87, and 102. Social rank was determined based on aggressive encounters, dyadic fighting wins and losses, and displacements between sows by 48-h post-mixing. At d 31 (post-mixing), regardless of social rank, total WBC decreased and, lymphocyte counts increased, but % change was more significant among the subordinates than dominants. The same trend occurred with neutrophil chemotaxis increased more in subordinates, but ConA-induced lymphocyte proliferation increased more in dominants, whereas LPS-induced lymphocyte proliferation was reduced among dominants. Sow behavior was differentially affected by social rank and time-periods or gestational day, with subordinates spending more time sitting and drinking, especially during time-periods 1, 3, and 4. Dominants displayed more oral-nasal-facial behaviors during mid-gestation but more sham-chew during time-period 2, which included feeding time. Social rank also influenced the percentage of time sows spent in either the stall or pen area, with subordinates in stalls and dominants in pen. These data imply that social rank differentially influences physiology and behavior of dry sows housed in a free access stall-pen environment. More specifically, the location of the dominant sow, time of day, and activity may influence when and where the subordinates spend their time within this housing system.展开更多
及时准确识别母猪的发情行为可以有效增加受胎率和产仔量,对提高养殖企业的繁育水平和经济效益具有重要意义。该研究针对生猪养殖过程中母猪发情行为识别存在主观性强、智能化水平低、假警报和错误率高、识别不及时等问题,提出了一种基...及时准确识别母猪的发情行为可以有效增加受胎率和产仔量,对提高养殖企业的繁育水平和经济效益具有重要意义。该研究针对生猪养殖过程中母猪发情行为识别存在主观性强、智能化水平低、假警报和错误率高、识别不及时等问题,提出了一种基于飞蛾扑火算法(Moth-Flame Optimization,MFO)优化长短时记忆网络(Long Short Term Memory,LSTM)的母猪发情行为识别方法。利用安装在母猪颈部的姿态传感器获得母猪姿态数据,然后使用姿态数据训练MFO-LSTM姿态分类模型,将母猪姿态分为立姿、卧姿和爬跨3类。通过对姿态分类结果进行分析,确定以爬跨行为和活动量2个特征作为发情行为识别依据,使用MFO-LSTM分类算法判断母猪是否发情。以山西省太原市杏花岭区五丰养殖场的试验数据对该方法进行验证,结果表明,该方法在以30 min为发情行为识别时间时的识别效果最好,发情行为识别的错误率为13.43%,召回率为90.63%,特效性为81.63%,与已有的母猪发情行为识别方法相比错误率降低了80%以上。该方法在保证识别准确率的情况下有效降低了错误率,可满足母猪养殖生产过程中发情行为自动识别要求。展开更多
