Breeding for societally important traits in pigs.

Journal of animal science - 1 Apr 2005

Kanis E, De Greef K H, Hiemstra A, van Arendonk J A M

Abstract excerpt

Pig breeding programs traditionally focus on the genetic improvement of production and reproduction traits that have a clear economic value. Because citizens and consumers increasingly attach value to traits that have little or no direct relationship to production costs or to the price of a product, pig breeding organizations want to pay more attention to societally important traits, such as the welfare and...
