Abstract excerpt
The objective of the study was to estimate genetic parameters for length of productive life (LPL), and determine its genetic correlation with age at first farrowing (AFF), number of piglets weaned at first farrowing (NW), and first wean-to-insemination interval (W2I) in the Finnish Landrace swine population. Data from the Finnish national litter recording scheme were utilized to estimate the genetics of LPL, and...
