Genetic parameters for feed intake, litter weight, body condition and rebreeding success in primiparous Norwegian Landrace sows
The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for feed intake recorded as farmers’ perception of young sows’ appetite for the first 3 weeks of lactation (APP) and feed intake recorded for one day in the 3rd week of lactation (FEED), litter weight (LW) at 3 weeks, sow body condition at wea...
