Abstract excerpt
To map genomic loci for leg weakness-related traits in pigs, leg scores and gait scores were recorded at 219 ± 18 d in a White Duroc × Erhualian F2 intercross population and a Chinese Sutai population. The biceps brachii muscle was dissected from the right front leg and its length and weight were measured after slaughter at 240 ± 3 d in the 2 populations. The 2 populations were genotyped using the Porcine SNP60...
