The maternal behaviour of sows and does differ greatly. Pigs are precocial animals, i.e. piglets seek their mother for feed, whilst rabbits are altricial animals i.e. kits are born helpless and depend on their mothers’ to come and nurse them. However, they share similar problems in commercial production from a maternal ability point of view. It is thus interesting to study if maternal behaviour has an effect on reproduction performances, and if it can be improved in pig and rabbit production in order to improve productivity. The overall aim of this thesis is to study if there is a relationship between maternal behaviour and the growth and survival of the progeny of sows and does. Since this is a very broad overall aim it has been delimited ...
