Recurrent mass selection for post-weaning average daily gain was practiced for seven generations in a population of Lacombe swine. Response to selection was positive, but the observed response was estimated to be only 0.33 of the predicted. The pooled estimate of additive genetic variance was 0.0013 ± 0.0002. Realized heritability was 0.126 ± 0.029. The pooled estimate of heritability obtained from components of variance and parent-offspring regression was 0.377 ± 0.058. Litter size was positively correlated with average daily gain (0.14 piglet per generation). No significant effects of selection in reducing additive genetic variance were observed.
