Effects of increased vertebral number on carcass weight in PIC pigs.

Animal science journal = Nihon chikusan Gakkaiho - 1 Dec 2017

Abstract excerpt

Variation of the vertebral number is associated with carcass traits in pigs. However, results from different populations do not match well with others, especially for carcass weight. Therefore, effects of increased vertebral number on carcass weight were investigated by analyzing the relationship between two loci multi-vertebra causal loci (NR6A1 g.748 C > T and VRTN g.20311_20312ins291) and carcass weight in PIC...
