The effect of the proportion of Modern European ancestry on grower and sow performance of pigs in smallholder systems in Uganda
Several factors, including breed, lead to divergent performance of pigs for production and reproduction traits in different environments. A recent genomics study showed that Modern European (ME) pig breeds contribute to the ancestry of smallholder pigs in the Hoima and Kamuli districts, Uganda. Thes...
