Indirect genetic effects and housing conditions in relation to aggressive behaviour in pigs.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Camerlink Irene, Turner Simon P, Bijma Piter, Bolhuis J Elizabeth

Abstract excerpt

Indirect Genetic Effects (IGEs), also known as associative effects, are the heritable effects that an individual has on the phenotype of its social partners. Selection for IGEs has been proposed as a method to reduce harmful behaviours, in particular aggression, in livestock and aquaculture. The mechanisms behind IGEs, however, have rarely been studied. The objective was therefore to assess aggression in pigs...
