Early piglet mortality in loose-housed sows related to sow and piglet behaviour and to the progress of parturition (2006, background): “, 2001) and responsiveness to screams of piglets trapped underneath the sow’s body (Wechsler and Hegglin, 1997; Janczak et al., 2003).”
A review of the human-horse relationship (2008, background): “Over-handling of the neonate (Grogan and McDonnell, 2005) accompanied with or solely the mare’s high level of fear or anxiety related to exposure to humans in particular may induce an impairment of maternal abilities (Rushen et al., 1999; Forde, 2002; Janczak et al., 2003).”
Assessing the human-animal relationship in farmed species: a critical review (2006, background): “For example, human–animal interactions can markedly affect the productivity of farm animals (Hemsworth and Barnett, 1987; Hemsworth et al., 1993a; Hemsworth and Coleman, 1998; Janczak et al., 2003; Jones, 1996), and a negative relationship between fear, as indicated by avoidance of humans, and produ”

Cognitive enrichment affects behavioural reactivity in domestic pigs (2007, background): “…used open-field and novel-object measures in pigs are indicative for locomotor activity (Puppe et al., 1999; Andersen et al., 2000), behavioural excitability, e.g. expressed by vocalisation or escape attempts (Von Borell and Ladewig, 1992) and novelty-induced anxiety (Janczak et al., 2003).”
Pig's responses to repeated social regrouping and relocation during the growing-finishing period (2007, background): “The pigs have to cope with novelty in their life environment, whereas it is well known that pigs exhibit novel-induced anxiety when submitted to a novel area (Janczak et al., 2003).”
Effects of human-animal relationship on animal productivity and welfare (2020, background): “Janczak et al (2003) found that sows showing less fear of humans had higher reproductive success and more adaptive maternal behaviour.”
