• Board-invited review: intrauterine growth retardation: implications for the animal sciences. (2006, unknown): “Compared with high birth weight offspring, IUGR newborn lambs (Greenwood et al., 1998), calves (Bellows et al., 1971), piglets (Milligan et al., 2002; Quiniou et al., 2002), and foals (Ginther and Douglas, 1982) suffered from greater rates of neonatal mortality and took a longer period of time to…”
• 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): “Within-litter variation in birth weight has been shown to be positively related to preweaning mortality in several papers (Roehe and Kalm, 2000; Milligan et al., 2002a,b), whereas Milligan et al. (2001) reported that their data provided little support for the hypothesis that high birth-weight…”
