Genetic parameters and genomic prediction for feed intake recorded at the group and individual level in different production systems for growing pigs

Abstract Background In breeding programs, recording large-scale feed intake (FI) data routinely at the individual level is costly and difficult compared with other production traits. An alternative approach could be to record FI at the group level since animals such as pigs are normally housed in gr...
