Pheromone Chez Les Porcins by olivierguerret is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study identifies maternal faecal semiochemicals in swine that attract piglets and evaluates their effects on weaned piglet behavior. The research found that skatole and myristic acid concentrations increased after farrowing and that piglets preferred feeders sprayed with both chemicals, which reduced aggression and increased feeding behavior post-weaning. These findings suggest that these semiochemicals may serve as maternal signals that benefit piglet development and well-being during weaning.
