Rearing Undocked Pigs on Fully Slatted Floors Using Multiple Types and Variations of Enrichment
In fully slatted systems, tail biting is difficult to manage when pigs’ tails are not docked because loose enrichment material can obstruct slurry systems. This pilot study sought to determine: a) whether intact-tailed pigs can be reared with a manageable level of tail biting by using mult...
