Abstract excerpt
Teat number is an extremely valuable trait for sow reproduction performance and piglet survival. Here, we used genotyping-by-sequencing and a general liner model to carry out genome-wide analysis of sow total teat number in an Erhualian population. The results indicated that eight SNPs on chromosomes 4, 5, 9 and 10 were significant genome wide (Bonferroni method, P < 2.85E-7) for sow total teat number. Validation...
