• Genetic Parameters for the Piglet Mortality Traits Crushing, Stillbirth and Total Mortality, and their Relation to Birth Weight (2002, background): “As an alternative, Roehe & Kalm (2000) suggested selection for individual birth weight as a means to improve survival rate.”
• Within-litter variation of birth weight in hyperprolific Czech Large White sows and its relation to litter size traits, stillborn piglets and losses until weaning (2008, background): “Roehe and Kalm (2000) analyzed preweaning mortality in piglets with a deviance analysis.”
• Genetic aspects of piglet survival (2001, background): “Several authors (e.g. Kerr and Cameron, 1995; Roehe and Kalm, 2000) suggest selection for increased birth weight rather than direct selection for piglet survival, which has a lower heritability.”
