Identification of SNPs and Candidate Genes for Milk Production Ability in Yorkshire Pigs

Sow milk production ability is an important limiting factor impacting suboptimal growth and the survival of piglets. Through pig genetic improvement, litter sizes have been increased. Larger litters need more suckling mammary glands, which results in increased milk from the lactating sow. Hence, the...
