[EN] Marker-assisted selection has been introduced into the breeding programs of livestock populations
during the last few years. Particularly, the cattle industry was the first to incorporate the Genomic
Selection (GS) ...
Ibáñez-Escriche, Noelia; Forni, Selma; Noguera, Jose Luis; Varona, Luis(Elsevier, 2014)
[EN] The inclusion of genomic information on prediction of breeding values has been explored by the pig breeding industry as molecular techniques evolved. Except for a few successful cases, for example the HAL-1843 (R), ...
[EN] Genomic selection uses genetic marker information to predict genomic breeding values (gEBVs), and can be a suitable tool for selecting low-hereditability traits such as litter size in rabbits. However, genotyping costs ...

[EN] Litter size and mortality are the reproductive traits with most important effects on the sows
productivity (number of piglets weaned alive per sow and per year) which is one the main factors
affecting the cost-effective ...
