• A review of environmental enrichment for pigs housed in intensive housing systems (2009, background): “When straw enrichment is compared with point-source enrichment-objects, studies report up to twenty times as much interaction with the straw in comparison with the objects (Ruiterkamp, 1987; Lyons et al., 1995; De Jong et al., 1998; Scott et al., 2006b, 2007; Van de Weerd et al., 2006).”
• The role of novelty in environmental enrichment for the weaned pig (2009, background): “All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.applanim.2008.07.007 meeting more of their species-relevant needs (Van de Weerd et al., 2003, 2006).”
