Abstract excerpt
Fat depth (FD) and muscle depth (MD) are economically important traits and used to estimate carcass lean content (LMP), which is one of the main breeding objectives in pig breeding programmes. We assessed the genetic architectures of body composition traits for additive and dominance effects in commercial crossbred Piétrain pigs using both 50 K array and sequence genotypes. We first performed a genome-wide...
