Abstract excerpt
Liveborn piglets from gilts with estrogen receptor (ESR) genotype AA (95 AA-AA and 91 AA-AB piglets), AB (88 AB-AA, 118 AB-AB, and 37 AB-BB piglets), and BB (97 BB-AB and 89 BB-BB piglets) were compared after farrowing, to examine whether piglet ESR genotype (ESRp) nested within maternal ESR genotype (ESRm) affected placental traits at term, piglet birth weight, and growth until weaning. Furthermore, the relation...
