Estimation of genetic parameters for lesion scores and growth traits in group-housed pigs.

Journal of animal science - 1 Oct 2017

Wurtz K E, Siegford J M, Bates R O, Ernst C W, Steibel J P

Abstract excerpt

Pigs housed in groups are remixed with unfamiliar individuals, which can trigger aggressive interactions, potentially compromising animal welfare. Skin lesions are a reliable indicator trait of aggression and are moderately heritable, suggesting that aggression may be reduced through selection. This study estimated genetic parameters of skin lesions of pigs at multiple life stages, explored genetic correlations...
