Towards genetic improvement of social behaviours in livestock using large-scale sensor data: data simulation and genetic analysis
Abstract Background Harmful social behaviours, such as injurious feather pecking in poultry and tail biting in swine, reduce animal welfare and production efficiency. While these behaviours are heritable, selective breeding is still limited due to a lack of individual phenotyping methods for large g...
