This work compared the behaviour of pre-parturient sows housed in intensive confined and outdoor systems, during the morning and afternoon prior to delivery. Eight sows were kept individually in farrowing crates or in paddocks with access to fresh pasture from 8 to 10 days before expected parturition. All outdoor sows built a nest within 24 hours before farrowing. On the morning and afternoon before farrowing they spent 6.5% of the time collecting grass and 7.5% of the time organizing the nest. Outdoor sows were observed more often than confined sows rooting (4.60% vs. 0.25%), feeding (10.2% vs. 3.0%), standing (51% vs. 13%) and walking (8% vs. 0%). Indoor sows redirected the nesting behaviour to other behaviours like attempts to dig the ground, nosing, biting and rooting parts of the crate, feeder or drinker, during 4.7% of the time. They also spent more time than outdoor sows inactive (85% vs. 60%), lying (72% vs. 41%), drinking (2.1% vs. 0.5%) and vacuum chewing (3.7% vs. 0.1%). The pre-parturient behaviour of sows was considerably affected by the husbandry system. The outdoor system appears to be more appropriate for the sows' welfare than the conventional confinement. Neste trabalho foi comparado o comportamento de porcas pré-parturientes criadas no sistema confinado convencional ou no sistema intensivo ao ar livre. Oito porcas foram mantidas individualmente em baias de maternidade ou em potreiros com acesso a pasto fresco, de oito a dez dias antes da data prevista para o parto. As porcas ao ar livre construíram um ninho nas 24 horas antes do parto. Na manhã e tarde antes do parto, passaram aproximadamente 6,5% do tempo coletando pasto e 7,5% do tempo organizando um ninho. As porcas ao ar livre foram observadas mais freqüentemente do que as confinadas fuçando (4,60% vs. 0,25%), comendo (10,2% vs. 3,0%), em pé (51% vs. 13%) e caminhando (8% vs. 0%). As porcas confinadas redirecionaram o comportamento de ninho para comportamentos como tentativas de escavar no piso, morder e fuçar partes da baia, o comedouro e o bebedouro, durante 4,7% das observações. Também foram observadas mais freqüentemente do que as porcas ao ar livre inativas (85% vs. 60%), deitadas (72% vs. 41%), bebendo (2,1% vs. 0,5%) e mascando em falso (3,7% vs. 0,1%). O comportamento de porcas pré-parturientes foi consideravelmente influenciado pelo sistema de criação. O sistema intensivo ao ar livre parece ser mais apropriado para o bem-estar de porcas nesta fase do que o confinamento convencional
