Thermoregulation at birth differs between piglets from two genetic lines divergent for residual feed intake

Thermoregulation at birth differs between piglets from two genetic lines divergent for residual feed intake

Thermoregulation is essential to piglets' neonatal survival. This study used infrared thermography (IRT) to assess thermoregulation abilities of piglets from two lines divergent for residual feed intake (RFI). At birth, morphology (weight, length, width and circumference), vigour (respiration,...
