A total of 42 swine were used, 14 of them for each treatment, which were identified with a marker stick. These animals were observed using the focal sampling method for 5 h. The treatments were the observation intervals: continuous, every 5 min, and every 10 min. Among the behaviors analyzed during the experiment, the different observation intervals did not affect the estimated time spent in the activities. Time observation intervals of 10 min or less adequately describe the duration of the main behavioral parameters of female pigs in this setting.4engethologypig productionsocial behaviorArtigo10.1590/rbz4720180016S1516-35982018000100203WOS:000450072800001Acesso abertoS1516-35982018000100203.pdf
