Abstract excerpt
The aim of this paper is to examine the extent to which increment of heterozygosity in F1 crosses can be predicted from genetic distance of parental breeds. For this purpose, 38 polymorphic marker loci (blood groups, allotypes, polymorphic proteins and enzymes) were tested in 1115 purebred animals (Duroc, Hampshire and Czech Meat Pig as sire breeds; Landrace, Large White and Black Pied Prestice as dam breeds) and...
