Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the porcine growth hormone (pGH) gene in Duroc, Landrace, and Tao-Yuan pigs and its effects on growth performance and levels of plasma growth hormone in peripheral circulation. Genomic DNA extracted from 81 Tao-Yuan, 60 Landrace and 48 Duroc pigs were subjected to Southern blot hybridization with a pGH cDNA probe. Polymorphism was...
