Data for article 'Investigating the Potential for Genetic Improvement of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Efficiency in a Swiss Large White Pig Population using Chemical Analysis' (DOI: 10.1111/JBG.12472). Dataset of 294 Swiss Large White pigs for which phenotypes of nitrogen efficiency, phosphorus efficiency (both determined by chemical analysis of N and P content of empty body and carcass as well as the feed ingested over the experiment phase), average daily gain and gain:feed ratio are available. We also provide the pedigree that was used to estimate genetic parameters in animal models and a description of the variables (metadata).
