Table 5.

The effect of light, pen temperature, and nest temperature on lesion and health parameters in suckling piglets. The numbers are least-square means of the value.

↓ = negative effect; ↑ = positive effect: ↔ = no effect. ¹ The LSI is calculated on a range of 0-200 considering the prevalence and severity of the lesions or tear staining in the area considered, where 0 is absence and 200 is all animals with severe lesions/tear staining. ² The scores were calculated as the prevalence of piglets showing the presence of the clinical sign (%). Values in bold evidenced significant association (p < 0.05).
