Exploring Phenotypes for Disease Resilience in Pigs Using Complete Blood Count Data From a Natural Disease Challenge Model
Download2020-01-01
Bai, Xuechun, Putz, Austin M., Wang, Zhiquan, Fortin, Frederic, Harding, John C. S., Dyck, Michael K., Dekkers, Jack C. M., Field, Catherine J., Plastow, Graham S., PigGen Canada
Disease resilience is a valuable trait to help manage infectious diseases in livestock. It is anticipated that improved disease resilience will sustainably increase production efficiency, as resilient animals maintain their performance in the face of infection. The objective of this study was to...

Novel Resilience Phenotypes Using Feed Intake Data From a Natural Disease Challenge Model in Wean-to-Finish Pigs
Download2019-01-01
Putz, Austin M., Harding, John C. S., Dyck, Michael K., Fortin, F., Plastow, Graham S., Dekkers, Jack C. M., PigGen Canada
The objective of this study was to extract novel phenotypes related to disease resilience using daily feed intake data from growing pigs under a multifactorial natural disease challenge that was designed to mimic a commercial environment with high disease pressure to maximize expression of...
