Abstract excerpt
Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is an economically important trait in pigs, and feed accounts for a significant proportion of the costs involved in pig production. In this study we used a high-density SNP chip panel, Porcine SNP60 BeadChip, to identify the association between FCR and SNP markers and to study the genetic architecture of the trait. After quality control, a total of 30,847 SNP that could be mapped to...
