Maternal and direct genetic parameters for tail length, tail lesions, and growth traits in pigs.

Journal of animal science - 1 Jan 2021

Aikins-Wilson Sheila, Bohlouli Mehdi, König Sven

Abstract excerpt

Tail length and tail lesions are the major triggers for tail biting in pigs. Against this background, 2 datasets were analyzed to estimate genetic parameters for tail characteristics and growth traits. Dataset 1 considered measurements for trait tail length (T-LEN) and for the growth traits birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), postweaning weight (PWW), and average daily gain (ADG) from 9,348 piglets. Piglets...
