Genetic parameters and expected responses to selection for components of feed efficiency in a Duroc pig line

BACKGROUND: Improving feed efficiency ([Formula: see text] ) is a key factor for any pig breeding company. Although this can be achieved by selection on an index of multi-trait best linear unbiased prediction of breeding values with optimal economic weights, considering deviations of feed intake fro...
