Genetic gain on 
body composition in 
pigs by Computed 
Tomography (CT). 
Return on 
investment 
Jørgen Kongsro
Accurate and non-invasive 
in vivo measurements 
Backward compatible 
Increase of genetic gain is 
around 30% 
Value for industry
Hazel, L. N. (1943). The Genetic Basis for Constructing Selection Indexes. 
1. The selection differential 
2. The multiple correlation between aggregate breeding 
value and the selection index 
3. Genetic variability 
Without data, you are blind and deaf 
and in the middle of a freeway

3500 boars are tested and scanned annually from 2008 
Focus on body composition 
An estimated increased genetic gain of 30%
