Intestinal gene expression in pigs: effects of reduced feed intake during weaning and potential impact of dietary components [PDF]

, 2011
The weaning transition is characterised by morphological, histological and microbial changes, often leading to weaning-associated disorders. These intestinal changes can partly be ascribed to the lack of luminal nutrition arising from the reduced feed ...

Olfactory enrichment using a maternal pheromone improved post-weaning pig performance and behavior

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
The post-weaning environment in commercial pig nursery buildings is typically devoid of both the sow and her semiochemicals. Among other factors, the loss of maternal odors may contribute to post-weaning stress.
