Popis: Lyons et al (1995) compared Straw-Flow(R) with other systems for growing pigs. The present study examined its suitability for the early-weaned pig. Welfare of early-weaned pigs was compared in Straw-Flow, deep straw and flatdeck pens using various indicators, including productivity, foot injuries and adventitious bursitis of the hock. These systems were chosen to represent the variety of housing in use on farms.
