Abstract excerpt
In this study, polymorphisms in genes encoding porcine adiponectin (ADIPOQ) and its receptors (ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2) were evaluated for associations with reproductive traits in a Landrace sow population. Sixteen SNPs were identified, and among these, associations were found between reproductive traits and five SNPs. Heterozygous multiparous females for SNP ADIPOQEF601160:c.178G>A had fewer stillborn piglets (P <...
