Conditioned Reflexes in Swine (Ob Uslovnikh Refleksakh u Sviney),

Abstract

The conditioned reflex activity in swine is characterized by the rapid development of conditioned reflexes, their comparative stability and their capacity for differenciation. Conditioned motor-digestive and defensive reactions developed in a conditioning chamber appear at age 9-19 days after 5-15 combinations. In the development speed of conditioned reflexes in young pigs of various ages from 5 days to 2 months, only insignificant variations are observed. Conditioned reactions to light stimuli develop in swine significantly slower than do those to aural stimuli. The capacity for distinct differentiation of artificial conditioned reactions in swine appears at approximately age 2 months. The practical utilization of conditioned reflexes for the purpose of increasing lactation in lactating swine proves the economic advisability of this method.
