摘要: Abstract Straw improves the welfare of pigs housed in barren environments as it can act a recreational and/or nutritional substrate and provide for physical thermal comfort. However, is unknown how much straw must be provided to behaviourally rewarding whether pigs’ prior experience effect their behavioural development. Therefore, aim current experiment was investigate these issues by exposing which had, or had no four levels provision (none, minimal, substantial deep). Groups with bit other more when not than groups such (P
