This study aimed to reveal the potential genetic basis for litter size, coat colour, black
middorsal stripe and skin colour by combining genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) …

Reproductive traits are an integral part of the goals of the breeding programs that contribute
to the economic success of production. Reproductive phenotypes such as litter size, number …

Background Shaziling pig is a well-known indigenous breed in China who has superior
meat quality traits. However, the genetic mechanism and genomic evidence underlying meat …

Simple Summary Ram semen traits including volume, gross motility, concentration, and
percent post-thaw motility are routinely assessed prior to use in artificial breeding programs …

The genetic background of variability remains of interest especially in traits of high economic
importance, eg litter size in pigs. It has been indicated that the data transformation can affect …

Although sows do not directly enter the market, they play an important role in piglet breeding
on farms. They consume large amounts of feed, resulting in a significant environmental …

Pork is one of the most commonly consumed meat in the world. The domestication of pigs in
Europe dates back to 5000 BC, from which the selection over decades has led to a …

Objective The objective of this study was to identify genomic regions and candidate genes
associated with the total number of piglets born (TNB), number of piglets born alive (NBA) …

Sažetak Inbreeding has negative effects on various pig traits, of which litter size, survival and
weight traits are of considerable interest to researchers because they have high economic …

Background Genetic selection improves a population by increasing the frequency of
favorable alleles. Understanding and monitoring allele frequency changes is, therefore …
