Estimation of Additive and Dominance Genetic Effects on Body Weight, Carcass and Ham Quality Traits in Heavy Pigs

SIMPLE SUMMARY: The response to genetic selection in animal populations depends on both additive and nonadditive (e.g., dominance) effects. Neglecting nonadditive effects in genetic evaluations, when they are relevant, may lead to an overestimation of the genetic progress achievable. Our study evide...
