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 p...
