Abstract excerpt
Anestrus, an infertility condition that affects several animal' species, is characterized by failing to display estrus. In pig production, it leads to the culling of 5 to 15% of the replacement gilts, resulting in significant losses impairing the swine female longevity. Despite that, little is known about the genetic mechanisms involved with anestrus in pigs. Hence, this study evaluated cyclic and non-cyclic F1...
