The genetic basis of natural antibody titers of young healthy pigs and relationships with disease resilience

The genetic basis of natural antibody titers of young healthy pigs and relationships with disease resilience

Abstract Background Disease resilience is the ability to maintain performance under pathogen exposure but is difficult to select for because breeding populations are raised under high health. Selection for resilience requires a trait that is heritable, easy to measure on healthy animals, and genetic...
