Effects of social status on skin lesion scores in focal sows. Sows measured on treatment days 1 and 12.
| Social Status * | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lesion Scores ** | Dom | Sub | SEM | p-Value |
| Day 1 Total | 2.74 a | 4.46 b | 0.44 | 0.004 |
| Shoulder Day 1 | 0.66 a | 1.17 b | 0.12 | 0.001 |
| Day 12 Total | 3.61 | 4.24 | 0.36 | 0.293 |
| Shoulder Day 12 | 0.72 | 0.92 | 0.12 | 0.214 |
* Social Status LS Means: Dom = Dominant; Sub = Subordinate. ** Lesion scores were done using a scale of zero to three (0 = no injury, and 3 = severe injury) on 11 regions on the right and left side of sows. Total = sum of lesions for all 22 body regions. ab LS Means with a different superscript within the same row are significantly different (p < 0.05).
