Selection for MG is not expected to increase ADG2, but will yield faster growth of the desired tissues and a better carcass quality.
Hence, we consider MG to be a better biological trait in selection for improved productivity and carcass quality. CT is a powerful
instrument in conjunction with breeding, as it combines the high accuracy of CT data with measurements taken from the selection
candidates. CT also allows the selection of new traits such as real body composition, and in particular, the actual MG on living animals.
