Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Immune traits are considered to serve as potential biomarkers for pig's health. Medium to high heritabilities have been observed for some of the immune traits suggesting genetic variability of these phenotypes. Consideration of previously established genetic correlations between immune traits can be used to identify pleiotropic genetic markers. Therefore, genome-wide association study (GWAS)...
