Abstract excerpt
Altogether 129 F1 sows from a commercial sow farm with at least four litters were genotyped for the oestrogen receptor 2 gene (ESR2) and cytochrome P450 hydroxylase 21 gene (CYP21) and investigated for associations on the litter-size parameters: total number born and number born alive. Five novel polymorphisms were found in the 3'-untranslated region for the CYP21 gene. Genotype and allele frequencies for the...
