Abstract
In modern intensive husbandry one of the most used techniques for increased animal production is the acceleration of weaning. In the pig (_Sus scrofa_ L.) this happens generally at the age of 3-4 weeks post-partum and the young are kept in flat-deck cages. The cages represent a great advantage from the sanitary point of view in comparison to the traditional husbandry, but they are related to frequent occurrences of anomalous behaviours (Van Putten & Dammers, 1976).| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
