Author(s): B. Zumbach, I. Misztal, S. Tsuruta, J. P. Sanchez, M. Azain, W. Herring, J. Holl, T. Long and M. Culbertson
Publication Date: January 1, 2008
Reference: Journal of Animal Science (2008) 86:2076-2081
Country: Athens,

Summary:

This study describes the genetic variability of pig carcass weight as a function of heat stress. It was found that heritability for growth was greater under heat stress. Selection for crossbred performance would be optimal when data for periods both in the absence and presence of heat stress were considered.
