Abstract excerpt

The genetic influence on body and adipose tissue characteristics of newborn pigs and their correlations to growth rate, BW, body length, backfat thickness and adipocyte size in the outer and inner layers of backfat in 8-d-old Large White piglets were determined. Samples of adipose tissue were obtained by biopsy. Pigs were born to 32 sows mated with the same boar. Heritability and genetic correlations were...
