This observation led to the investigation of a new feeding-pattern trait, defined as the percentage of the total daily feed intake eaten between midnight and 0600 h (P6AM). This trait (μ=35%) is specific to the feeding system studied and may provide additional information for genetic improvement of performance traits. The aim of this experiment was to estimate genetic correlations between P6AM and economically important traits. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | APSA 2003: 9th Biennial Conference of the Australasian Pig Science Association, Fremantle, Australia, 23rd - 26th November, 2003 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Ninth Biennial Conference of the Australasian Pig Science Association (APSA), p. 70-70 | Publisher: | Australasian Pig Science Association Inc | Place of Publication: | Werribee, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830308 Pigs | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/11452128 | Series Name: | Manipulating Pig Production | Series Number : | 9 |
