Zusammenfassung:An abstract of a study by Mumm et al on the the dynamic space requirements of lame and non-lame sows during a lying-standing postural sequence is presented. A total of 85 multiparous sows were used in this study. Lameness was evaluated when each sow was moved from its gestation stall to a pen using a 3-point scale while walking. Results indicate that lameness did not affect the dynamic space needed to lie down and stand up, but parity and stage of gestation did.
