Boar taint in entire male pigs: a genomewide association study for direct and indirect genetic effects on androstenone.

Journal of animal science - 1 Oct 2014

Duijvesteijn N, Knol E F, Bijma P

Abstract excerpt

Androstenone is one of the compounds causing boar taint of pork and is highly heritable (approximately 0.6). Recently, indirect genetic effects (IGE; also known as associative effects or social genetic effects) were found for androstenone, meaning that pen mates (boars) affect each other's androstenone level genetically. Similar to estimating variance components with a direct-indirect animal model, direct and...
