Multiple-trait genomic prediction for swine meat quality traits using gut microbiome features as a correlated trait.

Abstract excerpt

Traits such as meat quality and composition are becoming valuable in modern pork production; however, they are difficult to include in genetic evaluations because of the high phenotyping costs. Combining genomic information with multiple-trait indirect selection with cheaper indicator traits is an alternative for continued cost-effective genetic improvement. Additionally, gut microbiome information is becoming...
