Kinetics of the whole blood transcriptome in response to heat stress in pigs from two lines divergently selected for feed efficiency.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This study aims to use omics data to understand the genetic pathways involved in heat stress adaptation after a short and a long time exposure. Heat stress is one of the main performance limiting factors in the pig industry and its importance is expected to increase with the consequences of climate warming. Various solutions to mitigate the effects of heat stress on pig performance and welfare have been investigated, and genetic selection appears to be a potential solution. The genetic mechanisms behind heat tolerance are still not well understood, but some differences between breeds have been shown, as well as an interaction between genetics and environment. Here, pigs divergently selected for feed efficiency were used to assess their ability to adapt.
