Correlated genetic trends for production and welfare traits in a mouse population divergently selected for birth weight environmental variability
The objective of this work was to study the changes that, selecting for environmental variability of birth weight (BW), could bring to other interesting traits in livestock such as: survivability at weaning (SW), litter size (LS) and weaning weight (WW), their variability assessed from standard devi...
