Gilts (n = 187) were randomly assigned to either the Hurnik-Morris housing system (HM) or a conventional gestation crate system (GC) prior to breeding. The Hurnik-Morris system provides housing for sows in small groups. Gilts were synchronized for estrus and bred to Duroc Hampshire commercial crossbred boars. Gilts were reared in their respective housing systems through their gestation period. Housing system during breeding and gestation of sows did not affect their respective piglet mortality and piglet viability levels. The slightly higher feet and leg problem scores for the HM sows at weaning may indicate a necessity for farrowing accommodation that will allow movement of sows during lactation.
