Abstract excerpt
The low heritability of reproduction traits such as total number born (TNB), number born alive (NBA) and adjusted litter weight until 21 days at weaning (ALW) poses a challenge for genetic improvement. In this study, we aimed to identify genetic variants that influence these traits and evaluate the accuracy of genomic selection (GS) using these variants as genomic features. We performed single-step genome-wide...
