Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Semen Characteristics in Piétrain Boars

Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Semen Characteristics in Piétrain Boars

Since artificial insemination is common practice in pig breeding, the quality and persistence of the semen are decisive for the usability of individual boars. In the current study, genome-wide association analyses were performed to investigate the genetic variability underlying phenotypic variations...
