Description

This dataset contains the hair cortisol concentrations of 950 finishing pigs. Pig hair was sampled as part of a study funded by the European project HealthyLivestock. Pigs were sampled in two separate batches on 20 farms (24 pigs/batch, two batches/farm. NB: 10 samples could not be analyzed at the laboratory). Farms were located in western France.  A reference to the article relating to this dataset will be added when the article will be published.

-The first sheet includes the 950 hair cortisol concentrations, distinguishing the batches and farms where pigs were sampled.

-The second sheet includes the estimation of the average size of a pig batch on the 20 farms where hair was sampled + the estimation of the percentage of pigs sampled per batch.
