Abstract excerpt
Feed efficiency (FE) is a key trait in pig production, as improvement in FE has positive economic and environmental impact. FE is a complex phenotype and testing animals for FE is costly. Therefore, there has been a desire to find functionally relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as biomarkers, to improve our biological understanding of FE as well as accuracy of genomic prediction for FE. We have...
