Comparison of methods to study uniformity of traits: Application to birth weight in pigs.

Journal of animal science - 1 Mar 2015

Sell-Kubiak E, Bijma P, Knol E F, Mulder H A

Abstract excerpt

Increasing uniformity of traits is an important objective in livestock production. This study focused on the BWcomparison of a double hierarchical GLM (DHGLM) with the conventional analysis of uniformity, using within-litter variation in birth weight (BW0) in pigs as a case. In pigs, within-litter variation of BW0 is a trait in which uniformity is important in breeding practice. Traditionally, uniformity has been...
