Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Report Description
It has been demonstrated that larger pigs at birth have a greater survival rate than do small pigs, particularly in large litters. It is assumed that part of the death loss is because smaller pigs are weaker and do not compete well in establishing the peck order for position of nursing. It would seem logical that lessening the competition due to size differences at birth would lead to less death loss before weaning. The experiment reported herein was designed to evaluate the effect on pig performance and survivability of sorting pigs into groups of similar weight.
