“…Some researchers argue that these processes could make welfare-related carcass damage difficult to detect (Taylor et al, 2010;Aaslyng et al, 2013). However, others suggest that this damage may be more detectable after these processes (Harley et al, 2014;Stärk et al, 2014).…”

“…This suggests that the scalding and dehairing of pig carcasses make bruising to the skin more visible, and it is possible that other types of skin damage will also become more visible on the carcass after it has been subjected to these processes. On the other hand, it has been suggested that scalding and dehairing of the carcass may remove evidence of mild skin damage (Aaslyng et al, 2013) and tail lesions (Taylor et al, 2010). These theories have yet to be tested in a controlled manner.…”

“…SEF (Taylor et al, 2010), with high RFI pigs occupying the feeders more often and for longer durations than low RFI pigs, potentially exposing their tail more to biting while competing to access the SEF. However, no large line difference was evidenced in the investigation activity towards penmates and no major aggressive interaction at the feeder was observed on the video records.…”

“…The victims in this study had a higher start weight than biters or control piglets, which is in agreement with Van de Weerd et al (2005). It has been suggested that heavier and more dominant piglets will be the first ones to start feeding during the active periods, and it is conceivable that the exposed tails of feeding pigs could make them a target for tail biters (Taylor et al, 2010;Zonderland et al, 2010b). Indeed, it was found earlier that victims were more often the dominant pigs (Ushijima et al, 2009).…”
