Effect of Rearing Environment and Environmental Enrichment on Behavior and Neural Development in Young Pigs (Doctoral Disseration) (1989)

Grandin, T.

Abstract

Pigs raised in a windowless building with hanging rubber hose toys and weekly petting were less excitable compared to pigs raised with no extra environmental stimulation. Pigs exposed to an enriched environment approached novel objects more quickly than animals raised in a barren environment.
