Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic correlation between purebred and crossbred performance ([Formula: see text]) is an important parameter in pig and poultry breeding, because response to selection in crossbred performance depends on the value of [Formula: see text] when selection is based on purebred (PB) performance. The value of [Formula: see text] can be substantially lower than 1, which is partly due to differences in...
