STATE west of State College on Route 45. Performance testing is the most important tool available to the swine in dustry to measure the genetic merit (or breeding value) of potential breeding animals, says Dwight E, Younkm, Extension animal scientist, Penn State University. Average daily gam, feed efficiency, and fat thickness are performance traits that are important to buyers of breeding stock for two reasons. First, these are the major economic traits measured on pigs m most performance testing programs. Secondly, these ZIP traits also respond most rapidly to selection. According to Younkm, the “genetic flow” of animals that have bred in superiority for the economically im portant traits starts with the seedstock producer. A few influential breeders, by identifying the genetically superior animals, will make a large unpact on the progress made in the swine industry. economical, Pennfield Corporation Feed Marketing Div. j 711 Rohrerstown Rd. | Lancaster, PA 17604 | Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 19,1978 Top gaining boar over all breeds is owned by Kenneth C.
