Extract

Information on the sensitivity of genotypes to different nutritional inputs is important to the pig industry to ensure the feeding of appropriate diets. Testing genotypes on a single diet may constrain potential growth, defined by an animal's genotype, by under-supplying nutrients or may reduce the efficiency of nutrient utilisation by over-supplying nutrients. The current study examined the relationship between selection strategy and the sensitivity of genotypes to different nutritional inputs.
