A random regression model based on a single-step method for improving the genomic prediction accuracy of residual feed intake in pigs

Residual feed intake (RFI) is considered as a measurement of feed efficiency, which is greatly related to the growth performance in pigs. Daily feeding records can be obtained from automatic feeders. In general, RFI is usually calculated from the total measurement records during the whole test perio...

description Residual feed intake (RFI) is considered as a measurement of feed efficiency, which is greatly related to the growth performance in pigs. Daily feeding records can be obtained from automatic feeders. In general, RFI is usually calculated from the total measurement records during the whole test period. This measurement cannot reflect genetic changes in different growth periods during the test. A random regression model (RRM) provides a method to model such type of longitudinal data. To improve the accuracy of genetic prediction for RFI, the RRM and regular animal models were applied in this study, and their prediction performances were compared. Both traditional pedigree-based relationship matrix (A matrix) and pedigree and genomic information-based relationship matrix (H matrix) were applied for these two models. The results showed that, the prediction accuracy of the RRM was higher than that of the animal model, increasing 24.2% with A matrix and 40.9% with H matrix. Furthermore, genomic information constantly improved the accuracy of evaluation under each evaluation model. In conclusion, longitudinal traits such as RFI can describe feed efficiency better, and the RRM with both pedigree and genetic information was superior to the animal model. These results provide a feasible method of genomic prediction using longitudinal data in animal breeding.
