Abstract excerpt
Pork is the most widely consumed meat globally, and the industry has achieved substantial genetic advancements for several traits using genomic selection. However, traditional linear genomic prediction models may be inadequate for predicting complex traits, such as feed efficiency, as they primarily capture additive genetic effects and overlook nonadditive effects, including dominance and epistasis. Deep learning...
