A study on the behavioural patterns of growing boars is presented. The study was preformed at Quality Genetics' boar testing station Månseryd in Sweden. The boars were purebred Yorkshire, Hampshire or Landrace, born in nine different nucleus farms. The study is based on two batches of boars, with 63 and 69 boars respectively. The boars were fed from single space-feeders, ACEMA. The feeder recognizes the pig via an electronic transponder in the ear and collects information on each visit to the feeder: time of the day, time spent in the feeder and consumed amount of feed. The information is stored in the systems computer. The hypothesis of the study was that the aggressive boars make their way to the feeder by force, and thus achieve a hi...
