Relationship between rooting behaviour and foraging in growing pigs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2017
Extract
Evidence suggests that rooting behaviour in growing pigs involves elements of both foraging for food (Day et al., 1995) and exploration (Wood-Gush and Beilharz, 1983). The objective of this experiment was to investigate the relationship between rooting behaviour and foraging in growing pigs. This involved assessing the affects of food rewards and feed restriction on the performance of rooting behaviour.
