Selection for feed efficiency using the social effects animal model in growing Duroc pigs: evaluation by simulation
(BMC, 2020-09-29)
Background
Traits recorded on animals that are raised in groups can be analysed with the social effects animal model (SAM). For multiple traits, this model specifies the genetic correlation structure ...
Genic and non-genic SNP contributions to additive and dominance genetic effects in purebred and crossbred pig traits
(Nature Research, 2022-03-09)
The present research has estimated the additive and dominance genetic variances of genic and intergenic segments for average daily gain (ADG), backfat thickness (BFT) and pH of the semimembranosus dorsi ...
Indirect genetic effects on the relationships between production and feeding behaviour traits in growing Duroc pigs
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-10-01)
Performance and feeding behaviour traits in growing pigs could be affected by social interaction effects when animals are raised in group. So, properly knowing the genetic correlations between direct ...
