Abstract excerpt
Genomic selection increases accuracy and decreases generation interval, speeding up genetic changes in the populations. However, intensive changes caused by selection can reduce the genetic variation and can strengthen undesirable genetic correlations. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in genetic parameters for fitness traits related with prolificacy (FT1) and litter survival (FT2 and FT3), and...
