Genetic variation in piglet mortality in outdoor organic production systems.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 May 2022

Chu Thinh T, Zaalberg Roos M, Bovbjerg Henrik, Jensen Just, Villumsen Trine M

Abstract excerpt

Piglet mortality from farrowing to weaning is a major concern, especially in outdoor organic production systems. This issue might impair animal welfare and generate economic losses for the farmer. In particular, it is difficult to apply management tools that are commonly used for indoor pig production systems to organic or outdoor production systems. Genetics and breeding approaches might be used to improve...
