Genetic parameters and expected responses to selection for components of feed efficiency in a Duroc pig line
Abstract Background Improving feed efficiency ( $${\text{FE}}$$ FE ) 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 in...
