Physiological and behavioural characteristics and needs of pigs Sus scrofa domesticus
Résumé
This dossier has explored the welfare of pigs from the point of view of the animals themselves, starting with the physiological and behavioural needs that are closely linked to their cognitive and emotional capacities. These concepts are at the heart of the ANSES definition of animal welfare: ‘The welfare of an animal is the positive mental and physical state associated with the satisfaction of its physiological and behavioural needs and also with its expectations. This state varies according to the animal's perception of the situation’ (Anses, 2018).
