Modelling the feed intake response of growing pigs to diets contaminated with mycotoxins

Abstract

Quantifying robustness of farm animals is essential before it can be implemented in breeding and management strategies. A generic modelling and data analysis procedure was developed to quantify the feed intake response of growing pigs to perturbations in terms of resistance and resilience.
