Effect of swine sire line and selection index category on wean-to-finish growth performance and carcass characteristics

An abstract by Stas et al on compare 3 sire lines and the effect of selection index category within line on growth (6.1 ± 0.29 to 129.8 ± 2.16 kg BW) and carcass characteristics of commercial pigs is presented. A randomized complete block design (blocking factor being day of start on test) was used...

Zusammenfassung:An abstract by Stas et al on compare 3 sire lines and the effect of selection index category within line on growth (6.1 ± 0.29 to 129.8 ± 2.16 kg BW) and carcass characteristics of commercial pigs is presented. A randomized complete block design (blocking factor being day of start on test) was used with a 3 ... 2 factorial arrangement of treatments: 1) sire line [L; Green (GL) vs. Blue (BL) vs. Yellow (YL)] and 2) selection index category [IC; High (HIC) vs. Low (LIC)].
