O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar os efeitos do sistema de alojamento, em gaiolas individuais ou baias coletivas, durante a metade da gestacao, no desempenho de femeas suinas e de suas leitegadas. Apos terem sido inseminadas com 220 dias de idade, em media, as leitoas foram alojadas em gaiolas, ate aproximadamente 55 dias de gestacao, quando parte delas permaneceram em gaiolas (n=94) e outra parte foi transferida para baias coletivas (n=113), com seis femeas/baia. Nao houve efeito dos tratamentos na taxa de parto ajustada (P>0,05). As leitoas que permaneceram em gaiolas foram mais pesadas aos 110 dias de gestacao e apos o parto (P 0,05), quando comparadas as transferidas para baias coletivas. Os sistemas de alojamento nao afetaram o total de leitoes nascidos e nascidos vivos, o peso medio dos leitoes ao nascer e o intervalo desmame-estro (P>0,05). No entanto, verificou-se que as femeas alojadas em baias consumiram mais racao na lactacao (P Productivity of gilts maintained in crates or group-housed during pregnancy Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of housing systems, crates or group-housed, during half pregnancy, on the performance of swine females and their litters. Gilts of 220 days in average were inseminated and maintained in individual crates up to approximately 55 days of pregnancy, when some remained in crates (n=94) and the others were transferred to a group-housing system (n=113), with batches of six gilts. There was no effect of treatments on the adjusted farrowing rate (P>0.05). The gilts housed in crates showed higher weight at 110 days of gestation and after farrowing (P 0.05). The housing systems did not affect the total born and live born piglets, the average weight at birth and the weaning-estrus interval (P>0.05). However, it was observed that group-housed females showed higher intake during lactation (P
