Genetic parameters for growth traits in pigs estimated using third degree polynomial functions

A total of 8745 purebred Yorkshire and Landrace pigs extracted from Finnish progeny test station data was analysed. The pigs were weighed weekly during the test. A third degree polynomial function, age = f(weight), was fitted separately for each pig and was used to describe the growth patterns of in...
