Genetic influences on reproductive performance.

The Veterinary clinics of North America. Food animal practice - 1 Nov 1992

McLaren D G, Bovey M

Abstract excerpt

The potential for genetic improvement of reproductive performance in pigs is great. Improvement can be achieved by increased commercial use of F1 hybrid females produced by crossing lines with excellent reproductive performance and by selection within nucleus populations of these lines for improved reproduction as well a for growth and carcass characteristics. The value of incorporating reproductive traits in...
