Impact of environmental disturbances on estimated genetic parameters and breeding values for growth traits in pigs.

Abstract excerpt

Due to the diversification of farming systems and climate change, farm animals are exposed to environmental disturbances to which they respond differently depending on their robustness. Disturbances such as heat stress or sanitary challenges (not always recorded, especially when they are of short duration and low intensity) have a transitory impact on animals, resulting in changes in phenotypes of production...
