Abstract excerpt

Backfat thickness is a key carcass trait reflecting fat deposition in pigs, while semen quality represents a critical measure of boar reproductive performance in artificial insemination systems. Despite their economic importance, the genetic relationship between these traits remains largely unexplored. In this study, we applied the PLACO method under the composite null hypothesis to identify genes...
