Genetic analyses of piglet survival and postnatal growth
Heuß, Esther Maren (2020-03-20)Piglet survival determines the success of piglet production. Decreased piglet survivability raises animal welfare concerns and increasing litter sizes intensified this situation. In the recent work, the prospects to select ... -
Genomic indicators for boar taint and fertility in Landrace and Large White populations
Brinke, Ines (2021-06-14)Castration of male piglets in their first week of life is a commonly used but critically reflected method to avoid boar taint. Fattening of entire males represents a long-term sustainable alternative to castration but ... -
Multivariate methods for genetic association testing for immune traits in maternal pig breeds
Roth, Katharina (2023-10-10)In pig breeding immune traits are considered to serve as potential biomarkers for pig’s health-competence. A limited number of published studies indicate medium to high heritabilities (h2) for several immune ... -
Systems biology analysis of meat quality in Duroc × Pietrain pigs based on integrated omics approaches
Welzenbach, Julia (2017-07-03)Water holding capacity and drip loss are important commercially interesting meat quality parameters with low heritabilities and complex genetic and metabolic background. The aim of this thesis was the application of different ...
