Genotype with nutrition interaction for performance test traits in pigs selected for lean growth rate

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.
