Genetic Parameters for Tolerance to Heat Stress in Crossbred Swine Carcass Traits

Data for loin and backfat depth, as well as carcass growth of 126,051 three-way crossbred pigs raised between 2015 and 2019, were combined with climate records of air temperature, relative humidity, and temperature–humidity index. Environmental covariates with the largest impact on the studied trait...
