Estimation Model of Pig Weight Based on Body Measurements and Analysis of Its Genetic Basis.

Abstract excerpt

Body weight and body measurements are key indicators of growth and economic efficiency in pigs, but conventional weighing is labor-intensive and stressful, increasing disease risk and necessitating non-contact estimation. We measured five dimensions (body length, chest circumference, abdominal circumference, body width, and body height) in 811 Suzi black pigs and constructed six multiple linear regression models...
