Use of birth weight as a predictor of genetic merit of subsequent growth traits in Duroc and Landrace pigs

Analysis of correlation between the early testable phenotypes of piglets and the final performance of pigs can serve the early selection for breeding. The objectives of this study were to estimate the genetic parameters for birth weight (BtW), age (AGE) and backfat thickness (BF) up to 115 kg BW and...
