- The role of novelty in environmental enrichment for the weaned pig (2009, background): “It is possible that the additive effect of two objects arose because a single object imposed some spatial limitation on access of all animals within the group, particularly since enrichment-directed behaviour shows synchronisation within a group (Docking et al., 2008).”
- A review of environmental enrichment for pigs housed in intensive housing systems (2009, background): “Feddes and Fraser (1994) studied the features of non-nutritive chewing and found that pigs used objects (cotton cords or rubber strips) more if they could perform destructive chewing in which they altered, unravelled, or removed pieces of the object.”
