Economic weights for maternal traits of sows, including sow longevity.

Journal of animal science - 1 Dec 2014

Amer P R, Ludemann C I, Hermesch S

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to develop a transparent, comprehensive, and flexible model for each trait for the formulation of breeding objectives for sow traits in swine breeding programs. Economic values were derived from submodels considering a typical Australian pig production system. Differences in timing and expressions of traits were accounted for to derive economic weights that were compared on the...
