| Abstract (English): | The study evaluated the behaviour of Holstein steers finished in feedlot during winter and spring with two availabilities of living space. Behavioural indicators were recorded during the last 70 days of stay in the feedlot, based on the following distribution, according to the time of year and the living space per corral: finished in winter: (1) 65 steers housed in 14 m²/head and (2) 57 steers housed in 16 m2/head; finished in spring: (3) 65 steers housed in 14 m²/head and (4) 57 steers housed in 14 m2/head. Steers housed in 14 m2 exhibited agonistic behaviour expressed in a higher frequency of butting (16.93 vs. 12.51), fighting (7.17 vs. 2.99), threats (12.16 vs. 8.02) and vocalizations (24.92 vs. 18.56) than those housed in 16 m²/head; while in winter bumps (15.98 vs. 13.46), fights (6.61 vs. 3.55) and grooming (28.40 vs. 20.31), decreased the frequency of sniffing (24.98 vs. 64.14) and the frequency of steers with lowered heads increased. (6.30 vs. 2.31) in relation to fattening in spring. The reduction of space allowance in Holstein steers in winter influences agonistic behaviour and decreases social behaviour. It is concluded that allocating 16 m2/head during intensive fattening and finishing of Holstein steers ensures better housing conditions and provides the possibility of expressing positive habitual behaviour.

| Abstract (Spanish): | El estudio evaluó la conducta de novillos Holstein finalizados en corral de engorde durante invierno y primavera con dos disponibilidades de espacio vital. Se registraron los indicadores conductuales durante los últimos 70 días de permanencia en el corral de engorde, con base a la época del año y el espacio vital por corral: finalizados en invierno: (1) 65 novillos alojados en 14 m²/cabeza y (2) 57 novillos alojados en 16 m2/cabeza; finalizados en primavera: (3) 65 novillos alojados en 14 m2/cabeza y (4) 57 novillos alojados en 14 m2/cabeza. Los novillos alojados en 14 m2 exhibieron comportamiento agonista expresado en mayor frecuencia de topetazos (16.93 vs. 12.51), peleas (7.17 vs. 2.99), amenazas (12.16 vs. 8.02) y vocalizaciones (24.92 vs. 18.56) que aquellos alojados en 16 m2/cabeza; mientras que en invierno persistieron los topetazos (15.98 vs. 13.46), peleas (6.61 vs. 3.55) y acicalamiento (28.40 vs. 20.31), disminuyó la frecuencia de olfateos (24.98 vs. 64.14) e incrementó la frecuencia de novillos con cabeza baja (6.30 vs. 2.31) con relación al engorde en primavera. La reducción del espacio vital en novillos Holstein en invierno influye en el comportamiento agonista y disminuye el comportamiento social. Se concluye que asignar 16 m²/cabeza durante la engorda y finalización intensiva de novillos Holstein asegura mejores condiciones de alojamiento y brinda la posibilidad de la expresión del comportamiento habitual positivo.
