Selection for litter size and litter birthweight in Large White pigs: Maximum, mean and variability of reproduction traits.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Oct 2021

Sell-Kubiak Ewa

Abstract excerpt

Gradually increasing trend of litter size poses a challenge to pig farmers in terms of managing larger litters. Therefore, it seems that a balanced approach that optimises litter size, litter birthweight, and uniformity of those traits is needed in order to address animal welfare and farm management concerns. This study aimed to investigate this issue by defining several traits for total number born (TNB), number...
