Identify and discuss the three types of data in swine classes.
What will be an ideal response?
The first type of data in a swine class is actual production data, or individual animal performance records. This type of data, the simplest and least valuable to use in a contest, is simply a set of individual animal’s records with no consideration of environmental factors or comparison to other groups. Adjusted data, the second type of data in swine classes, ratios, and indexes, are calculations that consider how each animal performed relative to a certain group. The third and final data type in swine classes is genetic merit estimates such as EPDs. EPDs are the best performance data for comparing potential genetic differences between animals_
