Exploration Feeding and Higher Space Allocation Improve Welfare of Growing-Finishing Pigs
SIMPLE SUMMARY: A lack of exploration materials in pig pens can result in damaging behavior towards pen mates. The objective of our study was to reduce skin and tail lesions by frequently providing small amounts of feed on the floor and by providing more space per pig. Both the so-called “exploratio...
