• Early piglet mortality in loose-housed sows related to sow and piglet behaviour and to the progress of parturition (2006, background): “Since the heritability of early piglet mortality is rather low (Knol et al., 2002; Su et al., 2004; Grandinson et al., 2002), the variation between litters within a herd may to a great extent be accounted for by non-genetic differences caused by, for example differences in climate, management and/or”
• Genetic aspects of piglet survival (2001, background): “This is in good agreement with the results of the very extensive analysis of birth weight by Roehe (1999), who estimated 0.”
