I wholeheartedly recommend having a sow feeder at floor level. Piglets of 14 days old are eating themselves fat without my effort. 6kg at 2 wk old. Some simple changes can make huge differences for weaning pigs.

Regrouping multiple litters while using the 50+ years of research on pig aggression. Little fighting and few hours later they all sleep together 😊

Well done Karolina!

Increasing animal agency: opening the door and see what the pigs do. All other days they left their piglets in the nest but today took them out. Natural socialization! #animalagency @liftcostaction.bsky.social

After 4 years as editor-in-chief I can start thinking of compiling a book with the most useful or funny comments of the reviewer-author "conversation" in the revision note 🤣 Here is one: "We are content with leaving this sentence in place". Certainly not the best response but it gave a good laugh!
