Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reproductive performance is critical for efficient swine production. Recent results indicated that vulva size (VS) may be predictive of reproductive performance in sows. Study objectives were to estimate genetic parameters, identify genomic regions associated, and estimate genomic prediction accuracies (GPA) for VS traits. RESULTS: Heritability estimates of VS traits, vulva area (VA), height (VH), and...
