Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Litter size and piglet mortality are important traits in pig production. The study aimed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for litter size and mortality traits, including total number of piglets born (TNB), litter size at day 5 (LS5) and mortality rate before day 5 (MORT) in Danish Landrace and Yorkshire pigs by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). METHODS: The phenotypic records and...
