The influence of maternal effects on accuracy of evaluation of litter size in swine.

Journal of animal science - 1 Sept 1993

Roehe R, Kennedy B W

Abstract excerpt

The influence of maternal genetic effects on response to selection was examined by stochastic simulation. The selection process of a closed herd of 120 sows, with 24 boars entering the breeding herd each year, was simulated over 10 yr. Effects of different magnitudes of maternal heritability (0, .025, .05), genetic correlations between maternal and direct effects (0, -.5, -.9) and evaluation models (with or...
