Abstract

Beginning in January 2005, the breeding value estimation is based on data from the large-scale standardized field test. Genetic parameters were estimated for all traits recently included in the genetic evaluation of pigs (lifetime daily gain, lean meat content in all breeds and additionally number of piglets born alive in the first litter and in the second and subsequent litters in dam breeds). Crossbred information is taken into account in the genetic evaluation of sire breeds. Heterotic effects for daily gain and lean meat content were estimated for crosses between sire breeds.
