Genetic variation in efficiency to deposit fat and lean meat in Norwegian Landrace and Duroc pigs.

Journal of animal science - 1 Aug 2015

Martinsen K H, Ødegård J, Olsen D, Meuwissen T H E

Abstract excerpt

Feed costs amount to approximately 70% of the total costs in pork production, and feed efficiency is, therefore, an important trait for improving pork production efficiency. Production efficiency is generally improved by selection for high lean growth rate, reduced backfat, and low feed intake. These traits have given an effective slaughter pig but may cause problems in piglet production due to sows with limited...
