Selection for litter size at day five to improve litter size at weaning and piglet survival rate.

Journal of animal science - 1 Jun 2007

Su G, Lund M S, Sorensen D

Abstract excerpt

Selection for total number of piglets born (TNB) since 1992 has led to a significant increase in this trait in Danish Landrace and Danish Yorkshire but has also been accompanied by an increase in piglet mortality. The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic and phenotypic parameters for litter size and survival to find alternative selection criteria to improve litter size at weaning. Data from...
