Abstract excerpt
Pietrain swine homozygous for the hal gene (n) associated with porcine stress syndrome (PSS) and a Pietrain-derivative breed, Near Pietrain (NP), with a frequency of .31 for n, were mated to produce reciprocal F1, F2, and purebred NP litters. The halothane challenge test was performed on all 40 parents and 240 progeny to predict their hal genotype and PSS susceptibility. The DNA-based assay for a C to T mutation...
