Fig. 1

Salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) activity (a), concentration (b) and salivary cortisol (c) during a nasal snare immobilization for 1 min from six pigs. The times were the day before at basal time (Tb), 5 min before (T-5), the firsts 30 s while the nasal snare immobilization was being performed (T + 0A), the seconds 30 s while the nasal snare immobilization was being performed (T + 0B), just after the immobilization (T + 0C) and 15 (T + 15) minutes later. The plots show medians (line within box), mean (cross inside the box), 25th and 75th percentiles (boxes), min and max values (whiskers) and individual values (points). The numbers mean the name of the pigs. Asterisks indicate significant post-hoc difference (Dunn’s multiple comparisons test): * P < 0.05
