Social genetic effects for growth in pigs differ between boars and gilts.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 1 Feb 2018

Nielsen Hanne M, Ask Birgitte, Madsen Per

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Average daily gain (ADG) in pigs is affected by the so-called social (or indirect) genetic effects (SGE). However, SGE may differ between sexes because boars grow faster than gilts and their social behaviours differ. We hypothesized that direct genetic effects (DGE) and SGE for ADG in pigs differ between boars and gilts and that accounting for these differences will improve the predictive ability of a...
