Abstract excerpt
Oestrous signs affect timely mating and reproductive efficiency in swine breeding herds. To study the genetic difference of oestrous signs between Chinese and European pigs, 100 Landrace-Large White (LLW) cross gilts and 50 Chinese Mi gilts were assessed for oestrous signs and the concentrations of serum estradiol-17β and progesterone were determined. The genotype of 39 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in...
