Abstract excerpt
Considering health-related traits among breeding selection criteria has been proposed as a way to improve pig robustness. This study investigated the potential of whole blood RNA-sequencing data for predicting immunity-related traits, stress indicators and carcass weight, using data from 255 pigs belonging to a commercial Duroc population. The prediction performance of mixed models fitting either genomic (G),...
