Abstract excerpt
Feed occupies a significant proportion in the production cost of pigs, and the feed efficiency (FE) in pigs is of utmost economic importance. Hence, the objective of this study is to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and candidate genes associated with FE-related traits, including feed conversion ratio (FCR) and residual feed intake (RFI). A genome-wide association study was conducted for FCR and...
