Abstract excerpt
Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed for litter size born alive and at 21 d in Duroc, Landrace, and Large White sows raised in southern Brazil. Variance and covariance components were estimated for first, second, and third parities, and for different sets of parities using DFREML under animal models with direct and maternal genetic effects. Additive direct genetic variances were different for...
