Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Meat quality and composition traits have become valuable in modern pork production; however, genetic improvement has been slow due to high phenotyping costs. Combining genomic information with multi-trait indirect selection based on cheaper indicator traits is an alternative for continued cost-effective genetic improvement. METHODS: Data from an ongoing breeding program were used in this study....
