Abstract excerpt
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli F18(ECF18) is a main pathogen that causes edema disease and post-weaning diarrhoea in piglets, and al-fucosytransferase (FUT1) gene has been identified as a candidate gene for controlling the expression of the receptor for ECF18 bacteria. The genetic variations at position 307 nucleotide in open reading frame of FUT1 gene in 26 pig breeds (total 1458 individuals) from 5 western...
