Abstract excerpt
This study investigated two hypotheses: 1) that consistent between-boar variation in frozen semen quality exists and is genetically determined, and 2) molecular markers linked to genes controlling semen freezability can be identified using amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technology. Five ejaculates were collected from each of 129 boars. Semen was diluted into a commercial freezing buffer...
