“…The inter-individual variability was high, specifically for the HPV groups, which may reveal individual sensitivity to human voice. The potential inter-individual variation in sensibility to human voice in piglets has been already noted in discrimination tests using voice broadcast (Bensoussan et al, 2019). The underlying explanations for this phenomenon remain to be tested, but we hypothesize that different hearing capacities, genetic backgrounds, and temperament traits related to sensory sensitivity, like in horses, may be responsible (Lansade et al, 2008).…”

“…Like dogs, pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) are also groupliving, highly social animals (Marino and Christina 2015), performing a variety of intraspecific communicative signals (Bensoussan et al 2019;Gieling et al 2011). Similarly to dogs, pigs' domestication, while clearly different in trajectory -dogs were used mainly for working purposes and pigs mainly as meat stock (Frantz et al 2016), was also characterized by a relatively close human contact (Hongo 1998;Piper 2008) and occasionally, pigs were also used for work or treated as pets (Robbins and Rappaport 2006).…”

“…Adaptation to humans especially may offer good opportunities to study laterality in inter-species communication, similar to what has been described for dogs, which have been reported to show lateralized processing of communicative [33] and emotional components [34] of human speech. Some studies on ungulate livestock species have already shown that these species are sensitive to human signals [35][36][37]. However, it may be expected that variation in the intensity and type of interactions with humans between different domestic species would also affect their appraisal of human signals.…”
