Abstract excerpt
The role of the porcine GH gene was investigated in 292 F2 animals of mating Wild Boar x Piétrain and in 310 F2 animals of mating Meishan x Piétrain. Forty-three traits of fattening, carcass composition, meat quality and stress resistance were recorded. For the analysis of associations between GH gene variants and quantitative traits, two restriction fragment length polymorphisms were examined. In the Meishan x...
