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.
