Abstract excerpt
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli F18 (ETEC F18) is the main pathogen that causes edema disease and post-weaning diarrhea in piglets, and a1-fucosytransferase (FUT1) gene has been identified as a receptor gene encoding the receptor for ETEC F18 bacteria. In this study, the method of PCR-RFLP was used to investigate the among 21 breeds including one wild boar breed and 20 western commercial and Chinese native pig...
