Abstract: BackgroundThe improvement of protein efficiency (PE) is a key factor for a sustainable pig production as nitrogen excretion contributes substantially to environmental pollution. Protein efficiency has been shown to be clearly heritable and genetically correlated with some performance traits, such as feed conversion ratio (FCR) and average daily feed intake (ADFI). The study aimed to identify genomic regions associated with these traits through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and regional heritability ma… Show more
