Implication

Experiment demonstrates effectiveness of Gepasorbex feed additive in improving behaviour and welfare in sows, suggesting new approaches for animal care.

Key Points

Gepasorbex significantly reduced motor activity in gestating sows by 102.7 minutes compared to the control group, improving rest time.
The addition of Gepasorbex decreased stereotypical behaviour, notably fictitious chewing by 120.2-131.1 minutes, indicating enhanced welfare.
Video monitoring assessed behavioural responses over two weeks in 62 gestating sows, showcasing the additive's potential impact.
Findings support using mycotoxin adsorbents in diets to alleviate stress and enhance comfort in industrial pig production settings.
