Abstract:This study was conducted to assess prediction models for production indexes in batches of growing pigs using performance regressors (period of the year and farm size).A database containing 663 records on the performance of pig batches (18.83 ± 4.37 to 111.26 ± 10.59 kg body weight (BW) at housing and finisher, respectively) from a private company was used to assess the following average animal characteristics: initial number of animals (INA), initial BW (IBW), initial age (IA), final BW (FBW), final age (FA), … Show more
