Genetic parameter estimates for growth performance of crossbred piglets

Genetic parameter estimates for growth performance of crossbred piglets

The direct heritability estimates for piglet weights in pre and post weaning stages were moderate and improvement through mass selection is plausible. In the pre-weaning stage, the piglets had maximum genetic potential at birth (BW) to be exploited through direct selection. The 3 random effects, na...
