• The effect of pre-weaning housing on the play and agonistic behaviour of domestic pigs (2007, background): “As far as we know, there has been only one study comparing the ontogeny of play behaviour in pigs from different commercial housing systems (Blackshaw et al., 1997).”
• Effects of rearing and housing environment on behaviour and performance of pigs with different coping characteristics (2006, background): “…of a rooting substrate reduces abnormal oral behaviours in growing-finishing pigs, and, as indicated by both behavioural and physiological data, improves their welfare substantially (Beattie et al., 1996, 2000; De Jong et al., 2000; Fraser et al., 1991; Kelly et al., 2000; Schouten, 1986).”
