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

Breeding for resilience in finishing pigs can decrease tail biting, lameness and mortality
Background Previous research showed that deviations in longitudinal data are heritable and
can be used as a proxy for pigs' general resilience. However, only a few studies investigated …
