Bayesian estimation of direct and correlated responses to selection on linear or ratio expressions of feed efficiency in pigs
Abstract Background This study aimed at (1) deriving Bayesian methods to predict breeding values for ratio (i.e. feed conversion ratio; FCR) or linear (i.e. residual feed intake; RFI) traits; (2) estimating genetic parameters for average daily feed consumption (ADFI), average daily weight gain (ADG)...
