Creep heating in outdoor farrowing huts may increase piglet welfare without impacting survival and growth Open
Newborn piglets are prone to hypothermia, and higher mortalities are suggested in outdoor farrowing huts. Therefore, we investigated whether creep heating during the first 7 days after parturition improves piglet survival and welfare. Data…

Short-term associations between ambient ammonia concentrations and growing-finishing pig performance and health Open
Using sensors, the health and welfare of growing-finishing pigs can be continuously monitored by detecting deviations from pigs' normal behaviour, but the validity of such algorithms requires improvement. As changes in the environment infl…

Validity and reliability of animal-based measures of welfare protocols in finisher pigs Open
Animal-based measures are a key part of welfare protocols, but to what extent these measures can report differences in welfare among pigs provided e.g. with different accesses to valued resources (i.e., whether the measures are valid) and …

Meeting ethological needs – Effects of straw and roughage on attractiveness of outdoor run and behaviour of organic fattening pigs Open
Organic pigs must have permanent access to an open-air space, which typically consists of a barren concrete outdoor run. One way to improve the attractiveness of the outdoor run for pigs and facilitate the establishment of functional zones…

Regeringens udspil om dyrevelfærd mangler nytænkning og reelle løsninger Open
Mange af regeringens foreslåede initiativer for dyrevelfærd vil ikke have betydelig effekt, fordi reelle løsninger kræver andre tiltag end dem, som er foreslået. Dertil kommer, at flere af initiativerne allerede er besluttet politisk, skri…

Stress responses in pigs postweaning: Effect of heavier hybrid and weaning intact litters Open
Early and abrupt weaning of pigs is a stressful event. In addition, the use of hyperprolific sows with increasing numbers of live born piglets has decreased the average pig's birth weight, colostrum intake and weaning weight. The aim of th…

Behavioural characteristics of fatal piglet crushing events under outdoor conditions Open
Piglets being crushed by the sow is a major welfare challenge in outdoor pig production. To develop interventions with the highest impact on mitigating crushing, it is necessary to know whether the major behaviour leading up to crushing ca…

Changes in piglet and litter characteristics across parities in two highly prolific sow hybrids in an outdoor organic herd Open
High piglet mortality constitutes a welfare challenge in organic pig production. Litter characteristics were investigated from parities 1–5 of two hyper‐prolific hybrids with different selection traits in an organic commercial herd (DanBre…

Postweaning growth and feeding behaviour in pigs: effect of heavier hybrid and weaning intact litters in farrowing pens for loose-housed sows Open
Abrupt weaning of four-week-old pigs is associated with multiple stressors. Housing pigs in intact litters is a way to reduce the stress associated with moving and mixing of unfamiliar pigs. Furthermore, higher weaning weight may improve p…

Use of drinkers by finisher pigs depend on drinker location, pig age, time of day, stocking density and tail damage Open
Water is a vital nutrient for mammals, including the pig. Despite this, the use of drinkers and water have not yet been explicitly quantified across the finisher period. The current study aimed at gaining greater insight into finisher pigs…
