Abstract excerpt
In the present study, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and meat quality traits on animals from a commercial Duroc sire line were assessed, aiming to identify phenotypic and genetic variation within this line. In addition, it was assessed if a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-based blood metabolite profile obtained from a blood sample taken at the end of the performance test could be used...
