Abstract excerpt
A simulation model of litter size in swine based on ovulation rate, uterine capacity and potential embryo viability was compared to three genetic models to clarify its genetic characteristics. The simulation model is equivalent to independent culling based on fixed levels of potentially viable embryos and uterine capacity. Litter size also can be described by a combination of additive, additive x additive, mean...
