The direct heritability estimates for piglet weights in pre
and post weaning stages were moderate and improvement
through mass selection is plausible. In the pre-weaning
stage, the piglets had maximum genetic potential at birth
(BW) to be exploited through direct selection. The 3 random
effects, namely direct additive, maternal additive and litter
permanent environmental effects had significant roles
during different phases of pre-weaning growth and all must
be included in the model used for formulating a breeding
program. For post-weaning traits, the direct additive and
permanent litter effects were the predominant factors
governing the variability. The non-significance of postweaning
maternal influence was as per expectation because
the piglets moved away from maternal care after 8thweek
of age.
