Genetic analysis of protein efficiency and its association with performance and meat quality traits under a protein-restricted diet
Abstract Background An essential component in the development of sustainable pig production is the reduction of nitrogen excretion in fattening pigs. Pig feeds typically contain high levels of dietary crude protein, and due to incomplete conversion to muscle tissue, excess nitrogen is excreted, resu...
