Genetic factors affecting feed efficiency, feeding behavior and related traits in pigs

Genetic factors affecting feed efficiency, feeding behavior and related traits in pigsFeed resource efficiency contributes to sustainable production of pig meat, both economically and environmentally. This chapter describes different measures of feed efficiency and the underlying genetics of feeding in pigs, drawing on studies of genetic correlations of residual feed intake (RFI) with pig production traits and genome wide association studies (GWAS) revealing the genetic architecture and biological mechanisms of feed efficiency.
