- A review of environmental enrichment for pigs housed in intensive housing systems (2009, background): “Waran and Broom (1993) found that when piglets were provided with a metal barrier behind which they could hide, the frequency of aggressive interactions was significantly lower.”
- Effects of species-relevant environmental enrichment on the behaviour and productivity of finishing pigs (2006, methodology): “The production data showed that pigs housed on straw had an increased food intake and daily weight gain, inlinewith previousstudies (Lyons etal.,1995;Morganetal.,1998; Van de Weerd et al., 2005 ) and feed conversion ratios were improved.”
- The role of novelty in environmental enrichment for the weaned pig (2009, background): “Van de Weerd et al. (2005) also found that pigs in barren environments spent more time expressing undesirable behaviours such as tail-biting, compared to pigs housed in enriched environments where exploratory behaviour could occur (through provision of straw).”
