What is Types of Higher Nervous Activity in Pigs: Characteristics of Behavior and Effects of Technological Stress about?
The strength, balance, and mobility of central nervous processes, which determine behavior, were estimated in six-month-old pigs of the Large White breed. According to the proposed technique, tests with observation of the animal's reactions to the care stuff, specificities of behavior in the course of feeding, responses to the unexpected sensory stimuli, and peculiarities of the formation of conditioned reflexes with estimation of the behavioral phenomena by a point scale allowed us to classify pigs as belonging to one of the four neurobehavioral types, strong balanced mobile (SBM), strong balanced inert (SBI), strong imbalanced (SI), and weak (W). Four groups of pigs of different above types (n = 5 in each) were formed. Their behavioral manifestations within 24-h-long observation periods were examined using a video monitoring system. It was found that pigs kept under stationary conditions (before stressing) spent most time (in different groups, 67.3 to 74.8% on average) in a static (resting) state, used 6.7 to 8.6% of time for feeding and drinking, and were in motion during 18.5 to 24.0% of time. Differences in the respective average indices shown by animals belonging to different
