TL;DRAbstract

The objective of this experiment was to determine distance between two anatomical measures in nursery aged pigs to a human observer before and after vaccinations in their home pen using a digital image. Three treatments were compared TRT One: Saline (Saline; n =50), TRT Two: Ingelvac® CircoFLEX-MycoFLEX® (Boehringer-Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., St. Joseph, MO; MCFLEX; n = 48) and TRT Three: Circumvent® PCV-M (MerckAnimal Health, Summit, NJ; Circumvent; n=51). Snout and tail anatomical locations within “touch”, “look” and “not” were determined. Data were analyzed using the PROC MIXED procedure of SAS. There were no (P > 0.05) injection treatment differences for snout or tail base proximities within the behavioral categories. There were no (P > 0.05) differences comparing snout and tail base anatomical location proximities from the observer’s index finger within the “touch”, “look”, and “not” categories across pre- injection treatments. There were no post-injection treatment differences (P
