Summary:

This study investigated whether weaning, which involves maternal separation, at different ages, altered subsequent
behaviour, physiology and neuroendocrine function in young pigs. It was found that the occurrence of belly nosing in later weaned pigs also suggests that care is required when designing environments where sows and piglets are housed together beyond 28 days.
