Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to identify genomic regions associated with postweaning average daily gain (ADG) in swine. Two families were produced using sires obtained from the cross of lines divergently selected for high and low growth rate. Sires were mated to 29 unrelated dams that produced 124 and 115 offspring. Average daily gain was recorded for every individual; mean ADG was .593 +/- .007 kg/d and .619...
