Coping characteristics and performance in fattening pigs
Livestock Production Science, 2003Abstract Pigs vary in their individual behaviour in response to stress, and this coping behaviour can be measured with a backtest. In this test, a piglet is put on its back and escape attempts are counted during 1 min. Backtest results are linked to individual performance, and regrouping at 9 weeks of age on the basis of coping characteristics can ...

Effect of Ascaris suum infection on performance of fattening pigs
Veterinary Parasitology, 2010Scientific investigations of production losses in pigs due to roundworms are rarely conducted in commercial farms, despite the fact that this information is needed to decide whether anthelmintic treatment is cost-effective or not. Therefore, the aim of our study was to compare performance in fattening pigs treated or not treated for Ascaris suum ...

Different rearing systems for fattening rabbits: Performance and carcass characteristics
Meat Science, 2009To evaluate the effect of different rearing systems and sex on productive performance and carcass composition and quality, 80 rabbits (40 males and 40 females) of Carmagnola breed were reared from 9 to 16 weeks of age in individual California type cages (0.12m(2)) or in group ground pens (0.25m(2)/head).

Tail biting and production performance in fattening pigs
Livestock Science, 2012Abstract Tail biting is an important animal welfare problem that is known to negatively affect production performance. We studied how tail biting influences the production performance in fattening pigs. Production performance was measured as the average daily gain (ADG), gross feed conversion ratio (FCR), red meat percentage (Meat%).
