Abstract excerpt
Improvements of longevity in sows are of overriding importance from an animal welfare as well as from an economic perspective, also in the local Swabian-Hall Landrace (SHL) breed. Consequently, the aim of the present study was a detailed assessment of linear conformation traits in the context of early predictions of sow stayability and to infer genetic (co)variance components between conformation traits with...
