Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the associations between 14 biological candidate genes and scrotal hernias in pigs. ANIMALS: 1,534 Pietrain-based pigs, including 692 individuals from 298 pig families and 842 male pigs without family information. PROCEDURES: Pigs were classified as affected or unaffected for scrotal hernias. Single nucleotide polymorphisms of candidate genes were analyzed via PCR assays and genotyped....
