Based on the current dataset, our findings support the hypothesis that group- and individual-level FI are different traits. Thus, the differences in FI traits under these two feeding systems need to be taken into consideration in pig breeding programs. Overall, adding information from individual records can improve prediction accuracy for animals with group records.
