Abstract
Accelerating genetic gain for good mothering abilities of sows will be possible. Especially nursing - and group behaviour seem to be promising traits. For the implementation in breeding programs, clearly defined traits are required and correlations between mothering ability and common production traits (e.g. daily weight gain) should be investigated.
