The genetic correlation between scapula shape and shoulder lesions in sows.

Journal of animal science - 14 Apr 2018

Nordbø Ø, Gangsei L E, Aasmundstad T, Grindflek E, Kongsro J

Abstract excerpt

Shoulder lesions and body condition of sows at weaning have both environmental and genetic causes. The traits can be scored at farm level, and following recording, the traits can be included in the breeding goal and directional selection can be applied. However, to further increase the genetic progress of these traits, it is advantageous to develop indicator traits on the selection candidates (test boars or...
