Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Feed efficiency is an economically important but costly trait to measure in pig breeding. Previous studies have shown that integrating metabolomic data, such as proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) - derived metabolomic profiles, into genomic prediction models can improve the accuracy of estimated breeding values (EBVs) - for example, using a univariate metabolomic-genomic best linear unbiased...
