“…In addition to the weekly individual inspections, all pigs were checked daily by farm and technical staff for signs of illness and tail-biting. When an acute outbreak of (Chaloupkova et al, 2007) The frequency of each behaviour was recorded. Severe wound Raw (as described above) but with puncture wounds evident and localised inflammation 6…”

“…This pattern is likely caused by the difference in space allowance between the two compared rearing systems. Accordingly, Worsaae and Schmidt (1980) and reported that a reduction in space allowance for piglets weaned at the age of 3-4 weeks resulted in a decrease in play behaviour, and Chaloupková et al (2007) found that pre-weaned piglets showed a higher level of locomotor and social play when offered more space.…”

“…Play behaviour was also observed to increase again as soon as more space and environmental enrichment like straw was offered to piglets (Worsaae and Schmidt, 1980). Finally, Chaloupková et al (2007) reported that piglets provided with more space and straw in a pre-weaning housing system performed a higher level of locomotor and social play. They concluded that bedding material, in addition to pen size, may be important to elicit play behaviour, since straw can vary in position and structure due to the piglets' behaviour.…”

“…This was considered to have prevented an increase in salivary cortisol concentrations after transport and resulted in a decrease in meat pH 45 minutes post-mortem, at an age of 6 months (Chaloupková et al, 2007). However, Bärlocher et al (2008) reported that the impact of housing systems on postmortem parameters such as pH was relatively low.…”
