Abstract excerpt
A T-->A mutation in the promoter region of porcine myostatin (MSTN) gene has been identified in previous work. Associations of the myostatin genotypes with growth traits are unknown in swine. The present study attempts to analyze the relationship of the mutation with the growth traits which included body weight at 60 d (BW60), average daily gain from 25 kg to 60 kg(ADG1), average daily gain from 60 kg to 100 kg...
