Detection of quantitative trait loci for teat number and female reproductive traits in Meishan × Large White F2 pigs

Detection of quantitative trait loci for teat number and female reproductive traits in Meishan × Large White F2 pigs

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of female reproductive data from a three-generation experimental cross between Meishan (MS) and Large White (LW) pig breeds is presented. Six F1 boars and 23 F1 sows, progeny of six LW boars and six MS sows, produced 573 F2 females and 530 F2 males. Six trai...
