Post-weaning and whole-of-life performance of pigs is determined by live weight at weaning and the complexity of the diet fed after weaning

Animal Nutrition, 2017
The production performance and financial outcomes associated with weaner diet complexity for pigs of different weight classes at weaning were examined in this experiment.

Gene co-expression network and differential expression analyses reveal key genes for weaning weight in Simmental-Holstein crossbred cattle [PDF]

Animal Biotechnology
Weaning weight is a key indicator of the early growth performance of cattle. An understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying weaning weight will help increase the accuracy of selection of breeding animals.

Faecal microbiota and functional capacity associated with weaning weight in meat rabbits [PDF]

Microbial Biotechnology, 2019
Summary Weaning weight is an important economic trait in the meat rabbit industry. Evidence has linked the gut microbiota to health and production performance in rabbits. However, the effect of gut microbiota on meat rabbit weaning weight remains unclear.

Within-litter birth weight variation in the domestic pig and its relation to pre-weaning survival, weight gain, and variation in weaning weights

Livestock Science, 2002
Abstract To determine the relationship between within-litter birth weight variation and pre-weaning survival and weight gain, and to provide practical guidance on fostering low-birth-weight piglets, we analyzed piglet survival and weight gain in litters of piglets from 52 sows followed through eight consecutive parities.
