Acute systemic inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide stimulation in pigs divergently selected for residual feed intake

Abstract Background It is unclear whether improving feed efficiency by selection for low residual feed intake (RFI) compromises pigs’ immunocompetence. Here, we aimed at investigating whether pig lines divergently selected for RFI had different inflammatory responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) expo...
