Bayesian estimation of direct and correlated responses to selection on linear or ratio expressions of feed efficiency in pigs

BACKGROUND: This study aimed at (1) deriving Bayesian methods to predict breeding values for ratio (i.e. feed conversion ratio; FCR) or linear (i.e. residual feed intake; RFI) traits; (2) estimating genetic parameters for average daily feed consumption (ADFI), average daily weight gain (ADG), lean m...
