Index evaluation of pigs and determination of selection limits
Abstract
The main goal of modern pig breeding is increasing the genetic potential of animals and obtaining the maximal number of products. Global experience demonstrated that the introduction of the system of breeding and fi nishing hybrid stock with the organization of the relevant system of estimating animals may be used to increase the profi tability of this industry. The increase in the productivity of animals is related to the progress of population in general, and the latter is considerably dependent on the accuracy of estimating genotypes [1–4].
