Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Labour dystocia (LAD) in sows is a common reproductive disorder that reduces piglet survival rates and increases the number of stillbirths, causing substantial economic losses to pig farms. However, the genetic basis of LAD remains elusive. Herein, we performed a single-breed genome-wide association study (GWAS) for LAD using imputed whole-genome sequence data from 3263 sows (487 Landrace and 2776...
