Genetic parameters and expected responses to selection for components of feed efficiency in a Duroc pig line
(BMC, 2017-12-01)
Background: Improving feed efciency (FE) is a key factor for any pig breeding company. Although this can be achieved by selection on an index of multi-trait best linear unbiased prediction of breeding ...
Nutrient supply affects the mRNA expression profile of the porcine skeletal muscle
(BMC, 2017-08-10)
Background: The genetic basis of muscle fat deposition in pigs is not well known. So far, we have only identified a limited number of genes involved in the absorption, transport, storage and catabolism ...
