Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: As a key index of reproductive performance in pigs, gestation length (GL) exerts a direct influence on litter size and the survival rate of piglets. Phenotypic variability in GL has been observed across Large White pig populations. To elucidate the genetic mechanisms underlying GL, this study analyzed 22,783 reproductive records from 9,057 pigs across five Large White populations. We employed a...
