- Authors
Nagy, István; Kövér, György; Gerencsér, Zsolt; Szász, Gabriella
- Abstract
Authors summarized the results of the last three decades' relevant literature examining the temperature effects on the various growth, reproductive and carcass traits in pigs. The ideal period of temperature measurement and the different methodologies characterizing temperature effects were summarized. The aspects of genotype environment interaction for the measured traits under hot and temperate conditions were also presented. Finally the possibilities of direct genetic selection for heat tolerance and its possible selection criteria traits were also discussed.
