Summary

It has been clear for some time that the most high-performing animals are often the most fragile and the most sensitive to disturbances confronting them. This observation raises many questions for the future of livestock farming systems and has naturally led researchers to wonder about the foundations of animal robustness.With the publication of this issue on "new criteria for assessing the quality of animals and livestock farming systems", the editorial team of the INRA Animal Production journal and the French Zootechnics Association wished to shed scientific light on the numerous facets of animal robustness.
This is seen through a variety of concepts, or components, which are applied to the different worthwhile physiological functions of farm animals and also to the level of production systems.
To date, it can be stated that no animal production, zootechnics discipline or organisation level escapes the analysis of these structures and functions in terms of robustness and associated criteria. We have therefore decided when putting this themed dossier together to combine different disciplines (genetics, nutrition, etc.), several levels of organisation (animal, farm) and animal categories (ruminants, monogastric).
