Genetic parameters for early piglet weight, litter traits and number of functional teats in organic pigs

Knowledge remains limited on genetic variation and genetic correlations for traits in sows and piglets that are reared in an organic or outdoor setting. Here, we estimated genetic variance components for individual piglet weight, litter weight, litter size traits, and number of functional teats in a...
