Indirect genetic effects for growth rate in domestic pigs alter aggressive and manipulative biting behaviour.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

Indirect genetic effects (IGEs) are heritable effects of an individual on phenotypic values of others, and may result from social interactions. We determined the behavioural consequences of selection for IGEs for growth (IGEg) in pigs in a G × E treatment design. Pigs (n = 480) were selected for high versus low IGEg with a contrast of 14 g average daily gain and were housed in either barren or straw-enriched pens...
