Abstract: Abstract This study hypothesised that feed intake and feeding behaviour traits recorded during gestation are genetically and/or phenotypically associated with poor reproductive performance or undesirable outcomes, including unanticipated removals. Data from 2,847 pedigreed sows recorded… read more here.

Abstract: Performance and feeding behaviour traits in growing pigs could be affected by social interaction effects when animals are raised in group. So, properly knowing the genetic correlations between direct and social interaction effects among performance… read more here.
