The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the use of on-test age (ONA), off-test age (OFA), on-test weight (ONW), and off-test weight (OFW) as covariates for analysing average daily gain (ADG) in Landrace (LD), Large White (LW) and Pietrain (PT) swine breeds. One- and two-traits analyses were carried out using Restrict Maximum Likelihood method, with a statistical model that included the fixed effect of contemporary group, the random genetic effects of animal and maternal (the latter just […]
