Journal ArticleDOI
The accumulation of skin lesions and their use as a predictor of individual aggressiveness in pigs
Simon P. Turner,Mark J. Farnworth,I. M. S. White,Sue Brotherstone,Michael Mendl,Pieter W. Knap,Paul Penny,Alistair Lawrence +7 more
TL;DR: This paper investigated the factors that contribute to post-mixing aggression in commercially housed pigs and found that the duration spent in reciprocalfighting and being bullied were significant determinants of the LS and contributed to the total LS in proportions of 0.17 and 0.14.
Journal ArticleDOI
A case control study of on-farm risk factors for tail biting in pigs
TL;DR: Some management practices on commercial farms that can be changed to decrease the risk of tail biting in growing and finishing pigs are identified and quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing and causes of piglet mortality in alternative and conventional farrowing systems.
J. N. Marchant,A.R. Rudd,Michael Mendl,Donald M. Broom,M. J. Meredith,S. Corning,P. H. Simmins +6 more
TL;DR: The causes and timing of piglet mortality were studied and the percentage livebom mortality was significantly associated with the parity and body length of the sows and with the within-litter variation in the birth weight of the piglets.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spontaneous qualitative assessment of behavioural expressions in pigs: first explorations of a novel methodology for integrative animal welfare measurement
TL;DR: It can be concluded that observers showed significant agreement in their spontaneous assessment of pig expressions, which suggests that these assessments were based on commonly perceived and systematically applied criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Michael Mendl,Julie Brooks,Christine Basse,Oliver H. P. Burman,Oliver H. P. Burman,Elizabeth S. Paul,Emily Blackwell,Rachel A. Casey +7 more
TL;DR: A new ‘cognitive bias' measure of animal affect is used to show that dogs which exhibit high levels of SRB in a separation test also appear to have a more negative underlying mood.
