Abstract excerpt
Miniature pigs of seven swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) genotypes were examined for birth and weaning weights to determine the influence of major histocompatibility (MHC) and background genes on these traits. Effects of different statistical analyses on the magnitude of these associations also were examined. Data on 154 piglets from 32 litters were analyzed by least squares using a linear model that included...
