Genomic selection for pork quality and carcass traits in both cross- and pure-bred populations
DownloadSpring 2015
Pork quality and carcass characteristics are now being integrated into swine breeding objectives because of their economic value. Understanding the genetic basis for these traits is necessary for this to be accomplished. The main objective of this study was to improve pork quality traits in two...
