Abstract excerpt
Reproductive efficiency has a great impact on the economic success of pork production. Ovulation rate is an early component of reproduction efficiency and contributes to the number of pigs born in a litter. To better understand the underlying genetics of ovulation rate, a genomewide association study was undertaken. Samples of DNA were collected and tested using the Illumina Porcine SNP60 BeadChip from 1,180...
