Environmental enrichment on the physiology, behaviour, productivity and meat quality of pigs
Straw in a rack was found to be the best material to meet the behavioural needs of pigs.

Shower-in and shower-in plus bench entry protocols for prevention of contamination in a swine facility
The objective was to determine if the addition of a bench entry system in a commercial swine facility with a shower lowers the risk of personnel introducing environmental contamination.

Most of the tested organic materials are probably not likely to pose a hygienic risk to pigs and are suitable as enrichment material.

Conductive cooling pads have the potential to cool swine under both high temperature and high humidity conditions.

Under current biosecurity practices, a substantial risk exists for the spread of PRRS virus due to truck sharing.
Modelling contamination of trucks used for pigs infected with PRRSRemoval of gases from a swine barn
The purpose of this study was to investigate the combined effect of biofilter media depth and moisture content on removal of gases from a swine barn.

High temperatures around farrowing (25°C) compromise crated sows' welfare, with a potential negative impact on offspring performance.
