Halmens påverkan på aktivitetsnivåer, strörelaterade beteenden och svansbitning hos slaktsvin by Brolin, Karin

“…In today’s intense farming systems pigs that have access to straw spend about 20% of their active time to straw manipulation. Pigs with access to straw are more active than pigs kept on a fully slatted floor, and pigs with access to straw also perform less adverse pen-matedirected behaviors, like tail biting. …”

Biological control of the cassava mealybug in Africa: a review by Neuenschwander, Peter

“…This was expressed as reduction in pest population levels and yield loss and gain in revenue. Behavior of adult females in searching and choosing hosts was identified as a better predictor of efficiency of a species in the field than life table studies under controlled temperatures. (4) It is concluded that biological control is the basis for integrated pest management. …”
