| Abstract |
<p>The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic relationship between immune competence and micro-environmental sensitivity (ES) of weaning weight, eye muscle area, and rib and rump fat depth. Variation in micro-environmental sensitivity among livestock leads to variability of phenotypes. The genetic correlations indicated that animals with higher immune competence tended to have lower micro-ES of weaning weight and eye muscle area, and higher micro-ES of rib and rump fat depth.</p>
