Description

Profitability of a pork production system relies on reducing the cost per unit of output that is achieved. There are opportunities to increase the profitability of the pork production system by genetic improvement of performance traits. In this publication, the potential for greater genetic improvement through the use of specialized sire and dam lines is discussed.
