This study investigated these factors by comparing production outcomes for three different farrowing stall layouts (traditional, expanded creep area, expanded sow area) and use of one or two heat lamps. Data were collected on 427 sows and their litters over one year. Results showed no statistical differences due to experimental treatment for any of the production metrics recorded, excluding percent stillborn. Parity one sows had fewer piglets born alive (p < 0.001), lower percent mortality (p = 0.001) and over-lay (p = 0.003), and a greater number of piglets weaned (p < 0.001) with lower average daily weight gain (ADG) (p < 0.001) and more uniform litters (p = 0.001) as compared to higher parity sows. Farrowing turn, associated with group/seasonal changes, had a significant impact on most of the production metrics measured. Number of piglets born influenced the percent stillborn (p < 0.001). Adjusted litter size had a significant impact on percent mortality (p < 0.001), percent over-lay (p < 0.001), and number of piglets weaned (p < 0.001). As the number of piglets weaned per litter increased, both piglet ADG and litter uniformity decreased (p < 0.001). This information can be used to guide producers in farrowing facility design.}, number={2}, journal={Animals}, publisher={MDPI AG}, author={Leonard, Suzanne M. and Xin, Hongwei and Brown-Brandl, Tami M. and Ramirez, Brett C. and Dutta, Somak and Rohrer, Gary A.}, year={2020}, month={Feb}, pages={348} } @inproceedings{leonard_xin_brown-brandl_ramirez_dutta_2020, title={Effects of piglet creep floor area on sow behavior and litter productivity in farrowing stalls}, author={Leonard, S.M. and Xin, H. and Brown-Brandl, T. and Ramirez, B.C. and Dutta, S.}, year={2020} } @inproceedings{ramirez_brown_leonard_weyer_2020, title={Initial phases for conducting high temperature and high humidity depopulation research}, author={Ramirez, B.C. and Brown, J.T. and Leonard, S.M. and Weyer, S.E.}, year={2020} } @article{leonard_xin_brown-brandl_ramirez_stinn_johnson_liu_2019, title={Characterization of a machine vision system to assess gestating sow space usage}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.13031/aim.201900782}, DOI={10.13031/aim.201900782}, journal={2019 ASABE Annual International Meeting}, publisher={American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers}, author={Leonard, Suzanne M and Xin, Hongwei and Brown-Brandl, Tami M. and Ramirez, Brett C. and Stinn, John P. and Johnson, Anna and Liu, Kai}, year={2019} } @article{leonard_xin_brown-brandl_ramirez_2019, title={Development and application of an image acquisition system for characterizing sow behaviors in farrowing stalls}, volume={163}, ISSN={0168-1699}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compag.2019.104866}, DOI={10.1016/j.compag.2019.104866}, journal={Computers and Electronics in Agriculture}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Leonard, S.M. and Xin, H. and Brown-Brandl, T.M. and Ramirez, B.C.}, year={2019}, month={Aug}, pages={104866} } @inproceedings{leonard_xin_brown-brandl_ramirez_dutta_2019, title={Effects of one or two heat lamps on sow behavior and piglet performance in farrowing stalls}, author={Leonard, S.M. and Xin, H. and Brown-Brandl, T. and Ramirez, B.C. and Dutta, S.}, year={2019} } @article{leonard_smith_ramirez_2019, title={Emerging technologies for monitoring sow health and welfare}, journal={National Hog Farmer}, author={Leonard, S.M. and Smith, B.C. and Ramirez, B.C.}, year={2019}, month={Aug} } @article{hess_leonard_2019, title={If one heat lamp is good, is two better?}, journal={National Hog Farmer}, author={Hess, A. and Leonard, S.M.}, year={2019}, month={Nov} } @inproceedings{leonard_xin_brown-brandl_ramirez_stinn_johnson_2019, title={Implication of modern sow’s static and dynamic space usage on gestation stall design}, author={Leonard, S.M. and Xin, H. and Brown-Brandl, T. and Ramirez, B.C. and Stinn, J.P. and Johnson, A.K.}, year={2019} } @article{leonard_xin_brown-brandl_ramirez_2018, title={An Image Acquisition System for Studying Behaviors of Sows and Piglets in Farrowing Barns}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.13031/iles.18-018}, DOI={10.13031/iles.18-018}, journal={10th International Livestock Environment Symposium (ILES X)}, publisher={American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers}, author={Leonard, Suzanne M. and Xin, Hongwei and Brown-Brandl, Tami and Ramirez, Brett C.}, year={2018} } @inproceedings{leonard_xin_brown-brandl_ramirez_2018, title={An image acquisition system for studying behaviors of sows and piglets in farrowing barns}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85075907421&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.13031/iles.ILES18-018}, booktitle={10th International Livestock Environment Symposium, ILES 2018}, author={Leonard, S.M. and Xin, H. and Brown-Brandl, T. and Ramirez, B.C.}, year={2018} } @misc{wang_li_leonard_shi_xin_chai_li_2018, title={Spatial and Diurnal Variations of Particulate Matter Concentration of a Pilot-Scale Aviary Layer House in Winter}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.13031/iles.18-141}, DOI={10.13031/iles.18-141}, journal={10th International Livestock Environment Symposium (ILES X)}, publisher={American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers}, author={Wang, Yu and Li, Dapeng and Leonard, Suzanne M and Shi, Zhengxiang and Xin, Hongwei and Chai, Lilong and Li, Baoming}, year={2018} } @inproceedings{wang_li_leonard_shi_xin_chai_li_2018, title={Spatial and diurnal variations of particulate matter concentration of a pilot-scale aviary layer house in winter}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85075889067&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.13031/iles.ILES18-141}, booktitle={10th International Livestock Environment Symposium, ILES 2018}, author={Wang, Y. and Li, D. and Leonard, S. and Shi, Z. and Xin, H. and Chai, L. and Li, B.}, year={2018} } @inproceedings{leonard_xin_brown-brandl_stinn_johnson_liu_2017, title={Quantification of static and dynamic spaces for sows}, author={Leonard, S.M. and Xin, H. and Brown-Brandl, T. and Stinn, J. and Johnson, A. and Liu, K.}, year={2017} }
