Individual Heterosis and Breed Effects for Postweaning Performance and Carcass Traits in Four Breeds of Swine

TL;DR: Individual heterosis and direct and maternal breed effects for postweaning average daily gain (ADG), off-test age (AGE) and probed backfat thickness (BF) were estimated from data on 1,664 pigs produced in a complete diallel mating system involving the Duroc, Yorkshire, Landrace and Spotted breeds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reproductive Performance for Four Breeds of Swine: Crossbred Females and Purebred and Crossbred Boars

TL;DR: There were no significant differences among the boar breeding groups for litter size, weight or survival rate, and the six crossbred female groups (reciprocal crosses were combined) did not differ significantly in conception rate or number of services/conception.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sow productivity comparisons for four breeds of swine: purebred and crossbred litters

TL;DR: Purebred and crossbred litters were farrowed during five consecutive farrowing seasons (fall 1976 through fall 1978) and significant heterosis estimates were obtained for litter size and weight at weaning and for survival rate.
