Rediscover and Refine QTLs for Pig Scrotal Hernia by Increasing a Specially Designed F3 Population and Using Whole-Genome Sequence Imputation Technology

Pig scrotal hernia is one of the most common congenital defects triggered by both genetic and environmental factors, leading to severe economic loss as well as poor animal welfare in the pig industry. Identification and implementation of genomic regions controlling scrotal hernia in breeding is of g...
