A longitudinal study of the effects of providing straw at different stages of life on tail-biting and other behaviour in commercially housed pigs [PDF]
, 2011 Tail-biting (TB) is a welfare concern. Recent studies indicate that early provision of straw may help prevent TB, however, many of these studies were carried out on small groups of pigs and may have limited applicability to commercial farms.

Influence of the form and level of organic versus inorganic copper and zinc in diets for growing and finishing pigs [PDF]
, 2006 Pharmacological levels of inorganic forms of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) are frequently used in diets for pigs to improve performance and control post-weaning colibacillosis. However, the use of such forms and levels causes mineral accumulation in the soil,
