The paper develops a robustness proxy for fattening pigs using longitudinal energetic allocation coefficients and finds it correlates with growth and feed efficiency traits.

This paper develops a mathematical model to quantify resilience in swine during the fattening period using growth data and creates a resilience index with low heritability estimates.

This paper develops a dynamic model to quantify piglet robustness to weaning using body weight trajectories and haematological data, showing strong model fit and correlations with health indicators.
