Abstract
- The robustness of a piglet at weaning can be seen as its ability to express optimal growth without any health problems and regardless of weaning conditions. The identification of the level of the robustness of piglets at weaning could allow implementing targeted cares and treatments. The aim of this study was to identify some biological markers measured around weaning that could be associated with the growth of the piglet after weaning. Blood variables (n=62) describing immunity, stress, oxidative status and metabolism were measured at 26 and 33 days of age on piglets (n=288) from 16 commercial farms selected with contrasting sanitary statuses (deteriorated: SS- or good: SS+). The sanitary status of the farm was significantly associated with 37 of 67 variables measured (P
