Lying characteristics as determinants for space requirements in pigs (2003, background): “Many papers studying the effects of space allowance on production performance, health and behaviour (Edwards et al., 1988; NCR-89 Committee on Confinement Management of Swine, 1993; McGlone and Newby, 1994; Hyun et al., 1998; Spoolder et al., 2000; Turner et al., 2000) have been published.”
Aggressive and sexual behaviour of growing and finishing pigs reared in groups, without castration (2006, background): “A lower density has, however, previously been reported to reduce levels of aggression in the pen (Kelly et al, 1980 ) or to have no effect (Spoolder et al, 2000 ).”
Effect of increasing temperature on space requirements of group housed finishing pigs (2012, background): “030 (Spoolder et al., 2000).”
