Genome-wide association analyses of lesion counts in group-housed pigs.

Animal genetics - 1 Dec 2018

Abstract excerpt

Aggression in group-housed pigs is a welfare concern and can negatively affect production. Skin lesions are reliable indicators of aggression and are moderately heritable, suggesting that selective breeding may reduce aggression. To further understand the genetic control of behavioral traits, such as the aggressive response to regrouping, associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can be identified within...
