Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Chinese Taihu is one of the most prolific pig breeds in the world, which farrows at least five more piglets per litter than Western pig breeds partly due to a greater ovulation rate.

In order to understand the molecular basis of the greater ovulation rate of Chinese...
