Polymorphism at the porcine Dominant white/KIT locus influence coat colour and peripheral blood cell measures.

Animal genetics - 1 Aug 2005

Johansson A, Pielberg G, Andersson L, Edfors-Lilja I

Abstract excerpt

We have examined the phenotype of different KIT genotypes with regard to coat colour and several blood parameters (erythrocyte numbers and measures, total and differential leucocyte numbers, haematocrit and haemoglobin levels and serum components). The effect of two different iron supplement regimes (one or two iron injections) on the blood parameters was also examined. For a total of 184 cross-bred piglets...
