Antagonistic maternal and direct effects of the leptin receptor gene on body weight in pigs.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2021

Abstract excerpt

Maternal effects on offspring growth can impact survival and evolution of natural and domesticated populations. Genetic correlation estimates often support a negative relationship between direct and maternal effects. However, the genetic underpinnings whereby this antagonism operates are unclear. In pigs, sow feeding status and body composition condition piglet development and growth. We hypothesized that...
