Global, national and regional genetic companies are able to supply the Canadian pork production industry with production sows and terminal line boars with exceptional genetic merit. However, using existing management practices, and because of inadvertent genetic-environment interactions, producers fail to fully realize this genetic potential at the production level. Through a concerted effort to address issues related to the sows' impact on the performance of their litters and to maximize the genetic impact of top boars, the proposed research project will improve industry competitiveness and create opportunities for product differentiation.

全球、国家和地区的遗传公司能够向加拿大猪肉生产行业供应具有特殊遗传优点的生产母猪和终端猪。然而，利用现有的管理做法，以及由于无意中的遗传-环境相互作用，生产者未能在生产层面上充分发挥这种遗传潜力。通过共同努力解决母猪对其产仔性能的影响问题，并最大限度地发挥顶级公猪的遗传影响，拟议的研究项目将提高行业竞争力，并为产品差异化创造机会。
