- Effects of environmental enrichment and loose housing of lactating sows on piglet behaviour before and after weaning (2011, background): “Piglets housed outdoors with their sow spend more time eating, exploring their environment and playing and seem to perform less damaging behaviours before weaning (Cox and Cooper, 2001; Hötzel et al., 2004; Johnson et al., 2001).”
- Announcing the arrival of enrichment increases play behaviour and reduces weaning-stress-induced behaviours of piglets directly after weaning (2006, background): “These changes induce behavioural problems such as belly nosing (Worobec et al., 1999) or increased fighting (Puppe et al., 1996; Cox and Coopert, 2001) as well as endocrine and immune alternations (Blecha et al., 1985; Carroll et al., 1998).”
- Effects of early contact between non-littermate piglets and of the complexity of farrowing conditions on social behaviour and weight gain (2009, background): “This corresponds to the results of other investigations (Weary et al., 1999; Cox and Cooper, 2001; Weary et al., 2002), however, some studies even found an increase in fighting between piglets after enabling contact between litters (Wattanakul et al.”
- Behaviour of sows and piglets reared in intensive outdoor or indoor systems (2004, background): “Other studies also found a concomitant lower frequency of nursing and higher frequency of solid food consumption before and after weaning in outdoor than in confined piglets (Cox and Cooper, 2001; Horrell and Ortega, 2001).”
- Understanding weaning distress (2008, background): “, 2004) and when piglets are raised outdoors and mixed at weaning with piglets raised indoors (Cox and Cooper, 2001).”
