Table 6 Median (min.–max.) number of daily movements towards the different units standardized per detection point and per 100 sows for movements towards the farrowing and gestation/insemination unit and per 1000 nursery/fattening pigs for movements towards the nursery and fattening unit in the different weeks of the batch farrowing system in farms B, C, D, and E, working in a 4-week system
