Can a super sow be a robust sow? Consequences of litter investment in purebred and crossbred sows of different parities1 [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science, 2016 The aim of this project was to study the consequences of litter investment on physical characteristics in primiparous and multiparous sows in 3 Norwegian breeds (Norsvin Duroc [ = 12], Norsvin Landrace [ = 12], and crossbreeds [Norsvin Landrace and Swedish Yorkshire { = 15}]). We predicted that the maternal sow line (Norsvin Landrace) would invest more
