Large Groups for Grower-Finisher Pigs, Feeding and Social Behaviour
By Thusith S. Samarakone and Harold W. Gonyou and published by the Prairie Swine Center - Most studies on feeding and social behaviours of pigs have been conducted on groups of fewer than 40 pigs/group. However, these group sizes are much smaller than some that are now used in some commercial operations (100-1000 pigs/group) in North America and elsewhere.
