peer agreement (net): +1foraging and nest-building material Explanation: foraging material and perhaps bedding is what I have seen on several occasions, e.g. http://www.ciwf.org.uk/publications/GAP/GAP_Chapter_7.pdf Barren environments In a natural environment, 3 week-old piglets start to develop their foraging behaviours by beginning to sample solid food items. The lack of suitable foraging material in the farrowing accommodation means that the piglets may start biting and chewing at the sow causing discomfort, irritation and, sometimes, serious injury. The lack of bedding leads to increased restlessness, aggression and injuries amongst the piglets. http://www.efsa.europa.eu/EFSA/Scientific_Opinion/ahaw_op_ej... foraging and nest-building material On one occasion - although these were called 'legetøj' in Danish - I have seen 'toys' suggested for objects that were hung up or placed in the sties for the piglets to investigate and play with. (large pieces of smooth wood washed up by the sea, a hanging plastic bucket and wellingtons as far as I remember from the picture. Sorry, but can't find it on the net or give a reference.) |
