Abstract excerpt
To select new Large White line with high number of piglets born, genotypes of estrogen receptor (ESR), the follicle stimulating hormone β subunit (FSHβ), catenin alpha like 1 (CTNNAL1) and miR-27a were tested in 472 Large White sows. The associations of different genotypes with litter size traits were also studied. The results showed ESRBB and FSHβBB sows produced 0.41-1.49 more pigs per litter (p < .05) for...
