We estimated genetic parameters for two pork production and six litter performance traits of
Landrace, Large White, and Duroc pigs reared in Japan. Pork production traits were …

Background Skin damage is a trait of economic and welfare importance that results from
social interactions between animals. These interactions may produce wound signs on the …

This study aimed to investigate genetic parameters for sow pelvic organ prolapse in
purebred and crossbred herds. Pelvic organ prolapse was recorded as normal or prolapsed …

Simple Summary Heterosis has been extensively utilized in the genetic breeding and
production of pigs, necessitating further analysis of its potential genetic mechanisms. The …

Genetic parameters for sow stayability were estimated from farrowing records of 10,295
Landrace sows and 8192 Large White sows. The record for sow stayability from parity k to …

A three-trait statistical model was designed for backfat thickness (BFT) and loin eye muscle
depth (LMD) with accompanying variable average daily gain (ADG). Data from 82,507 …

Genomic selection has been adopted nationally and internationally in different livestock and
plant species. However, understanding whether genomic selection has been effective or not …

Skin damage, which includes skin lesions from biting and other types of aggressive
behavior, is a trait of economic and welfare importance that results from animal social …

The objectives of this study were to 1) investigate the predictability and bias of genomic
breeding values (GEBV) of purebred (PB) sires for CB performance when CB genotypes …
