Impact of Feeder Access and Stocking Density on Tail Injuries and Performance in Weaned Piglets

The effects of stocking density (SD) and feeder access (FA) on the performance and damaging behaviour of weaned piglets are not well understood. Three experiments (Ts) were conducted. T1 compared low SD (LSD) (0.55 m<sup>2</sup>/piglet) and moderate SD (MSD) (0.37 m<sup>2</sup&g...
