Scarce Evidence of Heterosis for Growth Traits in Peruvian Guinea Pigs

Scarce Evidence of Heterosis for Growth Traits in Peruvian Guinea Pigs

This study aimed to estimate the heterosis for productive traits in a two-way crossbreeding scheme. Four guinea pig lines were originally selected for the following traits: line P1 for the growth rate, P2 for the partial feed conversion rate, M1 for the growth rate of the litter at 10 days of age, a...
