Genetic parameters for within-litter variation in piglet birth weight and change in within-litter variation during suckling.

Journal of animal science - 1 Mar 2003

Damgaard L H, Rydhmer L, Løvendahl P, Grandinson K

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to ascertain whether maternal additive genetic variance exists for within-litter variation in birth weight and for change in within-litter variation in piglet weight during suckling. A further objective was to estimate maternal genetic correlations of these two traits with mortality, birth weight, growth, and number of piglets born alive. Data were obtained from Lövsta research...
