Genetic variation in LUMAN/CREB3 and association with stress and meat quality traits in Yorkshire pigs
2021-04-01
Abstract excerpt
LUMAN/CREB3 is a stress regulatory gene that affects the activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis in mice and presents a promising avenue for exploring variable stress-responsiveness in pigs. Pigs with similar characteristics to LUMAN-deficient mice, including greater resilience to stress and receptivity to human handling, would be valuable in the pork industry from animal welfare and production efficie...
