Perioden etter avvenning kan være stressende for smågris (Sus scrofa domesticus), og er en velferdsmessig utfordring i norsk svineproduksjon. Målet med denne studien var å undersøke effektene av ulike typer rotematerialer hos avvente smågris. Vi predikerte at rotematerialer, og spesielt en kombinasjon av materialer, ville stimulere positive atferder og redusere negative, samt øke tilvekst og redusere risikoen for svak utvikling. I tillegg predikerte vi at griser med tilgang til rotematerialer hadde mindre frykt for ukjente mennesker og fremmede objekter, samt bedre evne til samarbeid og problemløsning. Avvente griser (n=120, Norsvin TN70 × Duroc) ble delt i grupper på 4 (n=6 grupper/behandling) og gitt en av fem ulike behandlinger (kontroll...
