Divergent selection for residual feed intake in group-housed growing pigs: characteristics of physical and behavioural activity according to line and sex
The aim of the study was to assess the impact of selection for residual feed intake (RFI) on the behavioural activity of lines divergently selected for RFI during seven generations. In all, six successive batches from the seventh generation of selection were raised in collective pens equipped with a...
