Abstract excerpt
By selective breeding for five generations, a Landrace line has been recently established to improve resistance to mycoplasmal pneumonia of swine (MPS), daily gain (DG), back fat thickness (BF), and plasma cortisol concentrations (COR). To clarify the involvement of swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) polymorphisms in the selection process, we investigated possible associations of 11 SLA-class II haplotypes with...
