Extract

Commercial pig producers may wish to house more pigs than normal in a pen in the immediate post weaning period to reduce heating requirements. However, this may necessitate groups being split or pens being expanded at a later stage. This study investigated the effects of a number of different management regimes on the performance and behaviour of weaned pigs.
