gain from three weeks after mating to farrowing. The skin lesion measurements, taken at<br />
different times were also significant interrelated.<br />
Also significant correlations between different indicators existed. Back fat measured at all<br />
three stages were e.g. negatively correlated to lesions (both number <strong>and</strong> length) three weeks<br />
after weaning <strong>and</strong> at the following farrowing. Aggressions at weaning were positive correlated<br />
to back fat gain, but negatively correlated to % not eating <strong>and</strong> lesions. This indicates<br />
that sows, involved in few aggressions at weaning have a low feed intake <strong>and</strong> receive many<br />
aggressions during pregnancy.<br />
