Abstract excerpt
Residual feed intake (RFI) is a measure of feed efficiency. Pigs with low RFI have reduced feed costs without compromising their growth. For marker-assisted selection, it is helpful to identify genes or genetic markers associated with RFI in animals with improved feed efficiency at an early age. Using Illumina's PorcineSNP60 BeadChip, we performed a pilot genome-wide association study of 217 Junmu No. 1 white...
