A general review of competition genetic effects with an emphasis on swine breeding

Author(s): C.Y. Chen, R.K. Johnson, L.D. Van Vleck, S. Newman

A review of previous studies is presented on estimates of genetic parameters and responses to selection with traditional breeding approaches, on correlations between agonistic behavior and growth performance, and on theoretical frameworks for selection incorporating interactions among individuals and on practical methods for incorporating competition effects in breeding programs.
