Genetic Analysis of Novel Behaviour Traits in Pigs Derived from Social Network Analysis

Genetic Analysis of Novel Behaviour Traits in Pigs Derived from Social Network Analysis

Social network analysis (SNA) has provided novel traits that describe the role of individual pigs in aggression. The objectives were to (1) estimate the genetic parameters for these SNA traits, (2) quantify the genetic association between SNA and skin lesion traits, and (3) investigate the possible...
