Overview of the data (abstract): Four pens of gestating sows from the University of Minnesota Southern Research and Outreach Center were randomly allocated to receive either enrichment or no enrichment (control) in a 2 by 2 crossover design. Time budgets were established by video recording focal sows’ behaviors (n=10 focals per pen) every 15 minutes between 0800 and 1500 every day. Enrichment use was further characterized by continuous behavior sampling for a 1-h interval between 0830 and 0930 each day. It is released because the manuscript is submitted for publication. -------------------------- SHARING/ACCESS INFORMATION -------------------------- 1.
