Visual assessment of post-mortem lesions exhibits little additive genetic variation in growing pigs

2003-10-01

Abstract excerpt

This study tested the premise that additive genetic variation for incidence of post-mortem disease lesions visually assessed during routine carcass inspection exists in growing pigs. A total of 23 478 male growing pigs were assessed for three categories of disease lesions: any post-mortem lesion; respiratory lesions; and abscesses. Additive genetic variation for each category of lesions was estimated by fitting a...
