Summary

Genome-enabled selection can improve animal breeding value accuracy. Implementing this technology in pig breeding programs costs approximately $0.082 to $0.21 per weaned pig, depending on the genotyping strategy.

Area of Science:

  • Animal Genetics
  • Genomic Selection
  • Quantitative Genetics

Background:

  • Genomic selection enhances estimated breeding value (EBV) accuracy.
  • Cost-effectiveness is crucial for adopting genome-enabled selection.
  • Reducing genotyping costs via low-density chips for selection candidates and high-density for breeding animals is a key strategy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a tool for estimating the cost structure of genome-enabled selection in multi-level commercial breeding programs.
  • To assess the economic viability of incorporating genomic information into breeding strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A deterministic model was used to estimate costs.
  • Assumptions included specific commercial pig production systems (terminal and maternal lines).
  • Genotyping strategies involved low-density chips for selection candidates and high-density for breeding animals.

Main Results:

  • Genome-enabled selection costs were estimated at approximately $0.082 per weaned pig for maternal lines and $0.044 per weaned pig for terminal lines.
  • Total estimated costs for incorporating genome-enabled selection into both maternal and terminal lines were $0.164 and $0.21 per weaned pig, respectively.
  • These costs need to be offset by genetic gain to ensure economic viability.

Conclusions:

  • A flexible spreadsheet tool was developed to estimate genome-enabled selection costs.
  • The tool allows for modification of input values like herd size and genotyping strategy.
  • This aids breeders in evaluating the economic feasibility of implementing genome-enabled selection in their specific programs.
