A promising resilience parameter for breeding: the use of weight and feed trajectories in growing pigs

Abstract Background Increasing resilience is a priority in modern pig breeding. Recent research shows that general resilience can be quantified via variability in longitudinal data. The collection of such longitudinal data on weight, feed intake and feeding behaviour in pigs has been facilitated by...
