Genetic Correlations between the Performance of Purebred and Crossbred Pigs
Genetic correlations between purebred Duroc (DU), Large White (LW) and Landrace (LR) pigs and their crossbreds LW×LR, LR×LW, DU×(LW×LR) and DU×(LR×LW) were estimated for production and reproduction traits. Performance test and litter records from Government pig breeding stations in Thailand were used. REML bivariate animal models were used to estimate genetic correlations for each trait measure...
متن کاملGenetic evaluation of calving ease for Brown Swiss and Jersey bulls from purebred and crossbred calvings.
The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of implementing routine national calving ease (CE) genetic evaluations of Brown Swiss (BS) and Jersey (JE) sires that include records of crossbred calvings. Records were available for 11,793 BS calvings, 3431 BS-sired crosses, 65,293 JE calvings, and 7090 JE-sired crosses. Evaluations were performed for each breed using only purebred ca...
متن کاملGenetic evaluation combining purebred and crossbred data in a pig breeding scheme.
Genetic evaluations using purebred data alone and combined purebred and crossbred information were performed for lean meat percentage in a pig breeding scheme. One purebred (PB) model and 2 crossbred models (CCPS1 and CCPS2) were used in the analyses. Data were obtained from the Selección Batallé S.A. Company (Riudarenes, Spain) and spanned a period of 4 yr (2006 to 2009). The data corresponded...
متن کاملGrowth performance for four breeds of swine: crossbred females and purebred and crossbred boars.
Purebred and two-breed cross (F1) boars were mated to F1 females to produce all possible three- and four-breed cross pigs involving the Duroc, Yorkshire, Landrace and Spotted breeds. Individual postweaning average daily gain (ADG), age at 100 kg (AGE) and probed backfat thickness at 100 kg (BF) data were collected on 3,456 pigs. A total of 213 pens with an average of 15.58 pigs per pen was eval...
متن کاملReproductive performance for four breeds of swine: crossbred females and purebred and crossbred boars.
Matings and litters were studied involving all three-breed crosses (sired by purebred boars) and four-breed crosses (sired by cross-bred boars) from the Duroc, Yorkshire, Landrace and Spotted breeds. There were 764 female mating records and 161 boars used over five sequential breeding seasons. A sample of pregnant gilts was slaughtered each season and the remainder were allowed to carry their l...
