Title: | The cost of batch variability as a component of economic values for robustness traits | Contributor(s): | Amer, P (author); Hermesch, Susanne (author) | Publication Date: | 2013 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/31360 | Abstract: | While selection for performance traits has been very successful in pigs, the resulting genotypes require understanding of the economic consequences of increased environmental sensitivity should incentivise development and use of new selection criteria and trait weightings in pig breeding programs that lead to improved long term outcomes of selection. The economic value of having more uniform performance assumptions made about the price of feed and the base per kg carcase price. While these parameters have higher weights leading to greater average revenue per pig. improved management and also appear to have greater susceptibility to environmental fluctuations. A better across a batch of finishing pigs is not well understood. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | EAAP 2013: 64th Annual meeting of the European Federation for Animal Science, Nantes, France, 26th - 30th August, 2013 | Source of Publication: | Book of Abstracts of the 64th Annual Meeting of the European Federation for Animal Production, p. 136-136 | Publisher: | Wageningen Academic Publishers | Place of Publication: | Wageningen, Netherlands | ISSN: | 1362-6077 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300305 Animal reproduction and breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830308 Pigs | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 100410 Pigs | HERDC Category Description: | E3 Extract of Scholarly Conference Publication | Series Name: | EAAP Book of Abstracts | Series Number : | 19 |
