Genomic selection for disease resilience using measures of antibody (Ab) response
Disease is a major contributor to increased costs in the swine industry. For example, the cost estimated from the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) disease alone is $664 million annually to the US swine industry (year 2012 estimate), with 45% of this cost attributable to the breeding herd and 55% attributable to the grower/finisher herd (PRRS.com; Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica GmbH).References | ||||
