Effects of sire classification for residual feed intake (RFI) on carcass traits of restricted-fed pigs.
Table 2.
Effects of sire classification for residual feed intake (RFI) on green ham traits of restricted-fed pigs.
Table 3.
Effects of sire classification for residual feed intake (RFI) on subcutaneous ham fat quality of restricted-fed pigs.
Fig 1.
Dynamics of cumulative ham weight loss and instantaneous rate of absolute weight loss during dry-curing in the restricted-fed progeny of RFI sire classes.
Genetic merit of sires for RFI was used to classify sires into low-, medium-, and high-RFI (LRFI, MRFI, and HRFI, respectively). Parameters of the curves are not different across sire classes (p > 0.05).
Fig 2.
Odds ratios for the effect of sire classes for residual feed intake on dry-cured ham quality attributes of restricted-fed pigs.
Genetic merit of sires for RFI was used to classify sires into low-, medium-, and high-RFI. The dashed line corresponds to an odds ratio equal to 1.00.
