A mix of old British and modern European breeds: Genomic prediction of breed composition of smallholder pigs in Uganda
Pig herds in Africa comprise genotypes ranging from local ecotypes to commercial breeds. Many animals are composites of these two types and the best levels of crossbreeding for particular production systems are largely unknown. These pigs are managed without structured breeding programs and inbreedi...
