Bayesian estimation of direct and correlated responses to selection on linear or ratio expressions of feed efficiency in pigs

• who: Mahmoud Shirali from the reported by Saintilan et_al [20] (- , to, .16) and Do et al. [22] (0.02-0.20). Dekkers and Gilbert [23] showed genetic correlations ofandfor phenotypic RFI with growth rate and backfat thickness, respectively in a divergent selection experiment for phenotypic RFI at Iowa State University, while Gilbert et_al [24] reported genetic correlations of, andfor phenotypic RFI with growth rate and carcass lean meat content, respectively, in similar experiments at INRA. Kennedy et al. [5] showed that phenotypic RFI and production traits are genetically independent when the heritabilities of feed intake and production . . .
