Role of illumination and light colour temperature in the preference behaviour of weaned piglets
Pigs respond to different lighting conditions and may benefit from lighting concepts aligned with their natural behaviour.

A review of sound-based pig monitoring for enhanced precision production
The integration of sound technologies with other precision farming tools further enhances farm management and productivity.
Computer vision and ethological methods to produce large-scale data on feeding and drinking behaviour in finishing pigs
The current study developed and validated an automatic approach for observation of feeding and drinking behaviour based on 2D video.
Precision livestock farming technologies in swine intensive production
Precision livestock farming represents a promising approach for optimizing swine production, but broader adoption requires cost-effective solutions and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Hygiene procedures of trucks transporting live pigs: multi-assessment validation of a standardized C&D protocol
Overall, the standardized protocol markedly improved the sanitary status of pig-transport vehicles.
A highly sensitive method for detecting ASF virus in oral fluids from naturally infected pigs in Northern Vietnam
The developed method offers a simple and sensitive tool for rapid ASFV screening in both affected and at-risk farms.
Technologies for automatic assessment of pig welfare using animal-based indicators in the slaughterhouse: a review
While automated systems for monitoring pig welfare show significant potential, challenges in practical implementation and widespread adoption remain.
Automated detection and scoring of pleurisy in Norwegian slaughtered pigs: a field trial
AI-driven tools have the potential to enhance disease surveillance, reduce observer variability, and facilitate large-scale data collection in slaughterhouse environments.
Efficiency of different strategies for pig slurry bioacidification to reduce ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions during long term storage
Slurry bioacidification could reduce the need for sulfuric acid and carbon substrates to mitigate gaseous emissions from long-term manure storage.
Scoring of swine lung images: a comparison between a computer vision system and human evaluators

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.
Evaluation of an electrostatic precipitator in mitigating the transmission of airborne viruses in experimentally infected pigs
Under the conditions of this study, the electrostatic precipitators efficiently removed IAV aerosol particles and delayed the onset of IAV and PRRSV infections in the sentinel pigs.
Dimensions of the modern pig
Changes in animal husbandry practices for swine make it necessary to validate or update these dimensions for modern animals.
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.
The effect of ramped nursery housing on pig behavior during loading and unloading at marketing
Ramp exposure during the nursery phase reduced ramp loading duration at market weight.

Effects of stocking density and illuminance in lairage of fattening pigs in different temperatures
Stocking at too-high density at high temperatures and stocking of too-low density at low temperatures affect meat quality and animal welfare.
Genetic parameters for image-based estimations of swine feet and leg conformation traits
The current study presents an algorithm that extracts novel, objective structural conformation traits and reports corresponding genetic and phenotypic parameters.
Integrating computer vision algorithms and RFID system for identification and tracking of group-housed animals
The proposed framework enabled reliable tracking of group-housed pigs for extended periods, offering a promising alternative to the independent use of image or RFID approaches alone.
Ad libitum feeding systems for lactating sows: effects on productivity and welfare of sows and piglets
Data suggest that sows fed ad libitum eat what they need and can convert feed more efficiently into the piglets’ growth without additional weight loss.
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.
