。 1. 进行了一项实验来比较 5 种不同的垫料水分评估方法。 2. 垃圾收集和评估，选取了 55 个养殖场，检查了每个养殖场 1 个棚屋，每个棚屋内发现了 9 个点。 3. 对于用于评估垫料湿度的每个设备，评估每个收集点的湿度测量值的平均值和标准偏差。 4. 5种测量湿度的仪器之间的可靠性和整体一致性较高（α=0.72）。 5. 对 9 个收集点中的 3 个进行测量足以对整个棚内的垫料湿度提供可靠的评估。 6. 基于垫料湿度与足垫病变之间的直接相关性，垫料湿度测量可以用作基于农场动物福利指标的资源。 7. 在所分析的 5 种方法中，视觉评分最简单实用，因此是农场用于动物福利评估的最佳候选方法。
. 1. An experiment was conducted to compare 5 different methods for the evaluation of litter moisture. 2. For litter collection and assessment, 55 farms were selected, one shed from each farm was inspected and 9 points were identified within each shed. 3. For each device, used for the evaluation of litter moisture, mean and standard deviation of wetness measures per collection point were assessed. 4. The reliability and overall consistency between the 5 instruments used to measure wetness were high ( α =0.72). 5. Measurement of three out of the 9 collection points were sufficient to provide a reliable assessment of litter moisture throughout the shed. 6. Based on the direct correlation between litter moisture and footpad lesions, litter moisture measurement can be used as a resource based on farm animal welfare indicator. 7. Among the 5 methods analysed, visual scoring results the most simple and practical and therefore the best candidate to be used on farm for animal welfare assessment.
