Identification of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Porcine <i>MAOA</i> Gene Associated with Aggressive Behavior of Weaned Pigs after Group Mixing

Identification of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Porcine <i>MAOA</i> Gene Associated with Aggressive Behavior of Weaned Pigs after Group Mixing

Understanding the genetic background underlying the expression of behavioral traits has the potential to fasten the genetic progress for reduced aggressive behavior of pigs. The monoamine oxidase A (<i>MAOA</i>) gene is known as the &#8220;warrior&#8221; gene, as it has been prev...
