Genetic determinants of pig birth weight variability.

BMC genetics - 27 Jan 2016

Wang Xuemin, Liu Xiaolei, Deng Dadong, Yu Mei, Li Xiaoping

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Piglet birth weight variability, a trait also known as the within-litter homogeneity of birth weight, reflects the sow's prolificacy, because it is positively genetically correlated with preweaning mortality but negatively correlated with the mean growth of piglets during sucking. In addition, the maternal additive genetic variance and heritability has been found exist for this trait, thus, reduction...
