Abstract excerpt
Carcass quality traits such as back fat (BF), loin depth (LD), and ADG are of extreme economic importance for the swine industry. This study aimed to (i) estimate the genetic parameters for such traits and (ii) conduct a single-step genome-wide association study (ssGWAS) to identify genomic regions that affect carcass quality and growth traits in purebred (PB) and three-way crossbred (CB) pigs. A total of 28,497...
