Identification of carcass and meat quality QTL in an F2 Duroc x Pietrain pig resource population using different least-squares analysis models

A three-generation resource population was constructed by crossing pigs from the Duroc and Pietrain breeds. In this study, 954 F2 animals were used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting carcass and meat quality traits. Based on results of the first scan analyzed with a line-cross model...
