Capturing resilience from phenotypic deviations: a case study using feed consumption and whole genome data in pigs
We observed that deviations in feed consumption can effectively serve as indicators for selecting resilience in commercial pig farming, as confirmed by the identification of genes such as PKN1 and GYPC. However, the identification of other genes, such as RNF152, related to growth, suggests that common resilience quantification methods may be more closely related to the mean of daily feed consumption rather than capturing true resilience.
