The influence of age on the use of potential enrichment objects and synchronisation of behaviour of pigs (2008, methodology): “Pigs of all ages use enrichment when it is provided (e.g. Beattie et al., 1995; Durrell et al., 1997; Hill et al., 1998; Petersen et al., 1995; Schouten, 1986; Van de Weerd et al., 2003).”
