Abstract excerpt
Improvement of feed efficiency (FE) in pigs is an important milestone in order to reduce the economic and environmental impact of pig production. The goal of finding biomarkers for FE has persisted for decades. However, due to the complexity of the FE trait, these goals have still not been met. Here, we search for quantitative trait loci (QTL), candidate genes, and biological pathways associated with FE using...
