Polydactyl inheritance in the pig.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Gorbach Danielle, Mote Benny, Totir Liviu, Fernando Rohan, Rothschild Max

Abstract excerpt

Two pigs were identified having "extra feet" (preaxial polydactyly) within a purebred population of Yorkshire pigs. Polydactyly is an inherited disorder in many species that may be controlled by either recessive or dominant genes. Experimental matings were conducted using pigs that had produced affected offspring with the result of 12 polydactyl offspring out of 95 piglets. One polydactyl-producing boar was also...
