Prediction of genetic merit for growth rate in pigs using animal models with indirect genetic effects and genomic information
Abstract Background Several studies have found that the growth rate of a pig is influenced by the genetics of the group members (indirect genetic effects). Accounting for these indirect genetic effects in a selection program may increase genetic progress for growth rate. However, indirect genetic ef...
