Estimated frequency of the RN- allele in Swedish Hampshire pigs and comparison of glycolytic potential, carcass composition, and technological meat quality among Swedish Hampshire, Landrace, and Yorkshire pigs.

Abstract excerpt

The frequency of the dominant RN- allele (Rendement Napole) was estimated in purebred Swedish Hampshire pigs (n = 208) by using the estimated glycogen content in the longissimus muscle at slaughter (glycolytic potential; GP). Carriers (n = 177) and noncarriers (n = 31) of the RN- allele were comp...
