• Early piglet mortality in loose-housed sows related to sow and piglet behaviour and to the progress of parturition (2006, methodology): “It has previously been shown that piglets are crushed when the sow rolls or lies down from standing (Weary et al., 1996, 1998; Marchant et al., 2001).”
• Lying down and rolling behaviour in sows in relation to piglet crushing (2005, background): “When kept in pens newly farrowed sows lay down in the open only on 11% of lying down occasions, while they on 89% of occasions lay down by leaning against the sloping pen wall or the creep (Marchant et al., 2001).”
