Genetic parameters and potential of reducing tail and ear damage in pigs through breeding
Ear and tail damage are heritable traits and are moderately positively correlated.

Modeling and predicting water consumption in fattening pigs using autoregressive moving average with external parameters
The autoregressive moving average model with exogenous variables demonstrated strong accuracy in predicting water usage, effectively capturing trends and deviations in water use.
Temporal dynamics and intra-farm variability of animal welfare indicators in fattening pigs
This study highlighted the possible differences that may arise in WQ® scoring depending on the time of the assessment during a growing period.
Nontargeted plasma metabolomics associated with sow lifetime productivity traits
Characterization of plasma profiles among post fourth parity dams with differing lifetime born-alive and weaned production traits suggested unique features that may be related to various physiological systems, including immunological, metabolic, and hormonal.
Evaluation of the efficacy of commercial disinfectants against African swine fever virus
These preliminary results can be used to target research on disinfectants which contain active ingredients with known efficacy against ASFV.
Comparative metabolic and stress-related responses to adrenaline in Iberian and Landrace pigs
Results suggest that Iberian pigs are furnished with increased metabolic flexibility to face short-term stress.

Effects of drinking water temperature and flow rate during cold season on growth performance of weaned piglets
This study recommends a specific combination of drinking water temperature and flow rate for weaned piglets during cold weather for the consideration of animal welfare and production efficiency.
Few effects of sow lactational stress on maternal behavior, but altered physiology with implications for piglet early-life stress coping
Lactational stress resulted in increased cortisol in sow milk and saliva.
Effects of light spectrum on pig behaviour, health and growth
Light spectrum seems to have limited effects on behaviour, health and growth of growing-finishing pigs kept in commercial conditions with limited space and a relatively barren environment.
Piglets’ behaviour and performance in relation to sow characteristics
Only some of the measured nutritive and non-nutritive sow factors influenced litter performance and behaviour, with parity and litter size also playing a role.
333 Emerging Voices: Factors determining the growth of piglets during lactation and their relationship with weaning weight
This final project from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at CEU Cardenal Herrera University was supervised by Antonio González de Bulnes López.
Inheriting the sins of their fathers: boar life experiences can shape the emotional responses of their offspring
Boar breeding environments affect the stress response and emotionality of their offspring.
Assessing pig personality in the home pen: a novel laser test
A novel quick in-pen laser test to assess piglet personality traits while minimizing environmental and handling interferences.
Effects of grinding teeth on piglet facial lesions, sow teat lesions and performances
Grinding teeth decreased the teat lesion score on day 21 of lactation but did not influence the mortality rate or litter weight gain.
Social behaviour in groups of castrated and uncastrated organic fattening male pigs - consequences for the individual
Contact to female groups and higher space allowance were key mitigating factors.

Abstract333 Emerging Voices - Impact of nest covers on welfare and performance of temporarily crated sows and their piglets during lactation
This work supports the use of temporary crating as a viable alternative to conventional farrowing crates. Final thesis at the Department of Animal and Food Science of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, UAB, Spain, advised by Pol Llonch Obiols.
Exploring the effect of play on heart rate variability as a measure of positive emotional states in pigs
Engaging in play increases heart rate variability, with this effect persisting into the period immediately after play.
Environmental enrichment affects immunity and reduces disease severity in pigs after co-infection, with stronger effects when applied from birth than from weaning
Enriched housing from birth reduced disease severity to co-infection with PRRSV and A. pleuropneumoniae.

The promotion of play behaviour in grow-finish pigs: The relationship between behaviours indicating positive experience and physiological measures
Play was successfully promoted and sustained until the finishing period and equally expressed regardless of extra space.
Osteomyelitis in pig carcasses at a Portuguese slaughterhouse: association with tail-biting and teeth resection
Meat inspection data were collected from 100,489 finishing pigs slaughtered in a northern Portuguese abattoir.
Influence of deep-litter bedding materials on environmental and welfare-related factors in boar studs
Trial runs were conducted in winter and summer to compare five deep-litter bedding materials.
Less experienced observers assess piglet castration-induced acute pain differently than experienced observers: A pilot study
The present pilot study supports the enhancement and implementation of UPAPS on farm and laboratory settings by minimally qualified observers.
Breeding for resilience in finishing pigs can decrease tail biting, lameness and mortality
Breeding for resilience traits based on deviations in longitudinal weight data can decrease pigs’ tail biting wounds, lameness and mortality while improving uniformity at the pen level.
Influences on the decision to euthanize a compromised pig
The two most salient reasons outlined for the delay of timely euthanasia were uncertainty and misinterpretation of the chance for healing.
