Influence of group size on the performance and behaviour of 4 to 10 week old pigs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2017
Extract
Increasing the group size of weaned pigs can lead to more efficient use of resources by producers. However research with finishing pigs suggests that increasing group size can also lead to increased aggression and reduced performance (Spoolder et al., 1999). The objective of this study was to assess the effect of group size on the performance and behaviour of weaned pigs.
